The Flamin Groovies new song End of the World, like the bands best tracks, blends proto-punk energy with power-pop melody. A certain rawness permeates the bands dedication to pop rhythm, making it sound like it could have been recorded today or in 1972. Considering all the bands that have been influenced by the Groovies, this music is timeless. - John Gentile / ROLLING STONE The Flamin Groovies new single End of the World actually sounds to me like substantial growth from their mid/late 70s material -- this is just sonically, musically beyond even Shake Some Action, I think. I dont know if the riff is quite as devastating but the whole soundscape is. - Dave Marsh The Groovies recent return sees their quest to keep the spirit of beat music alive continuing. - MOJO Magazine (Nov. 2013) The Flamin Groovies uniquely straddled the garage rock and new wave periods with equally classic output during both, becoming a peerless and legendary San Francisco band. - SF WEEKLY Badass rock n roll that predated punk rock by a good decade. The Flamin Groovies are about as classic a rock band as it gets. And to die-hard fans of rock n roll, they are classic rock legends. - CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER One of San Franciscos best, if somewhat overlooked, bands. - MOTHER JONES FOR MORE INFO ON THE FLAMIN GROOVIES: https://facebook/TheFlaminGroovies Twitter (brand spankin new): https://twitter/FlaminGroovies FOR MEDIA AND INTERVIEW REQUESTS: Tony Bonyata Pavement PR p: 262.903.7775 e: [email protected] pavementpr Unsubscribe / Change Profile Powered by YMLP
