Blast Magic Jake & The Power Crystals‘ An all star DETROIT Garage Punk Rock Band featuring members of King Tuff, The GO, John Krautner,Conspiracy Of Owls . The Power Crystals charge forth, freshly lightning-struck into a new, gangly life, slid off from the slab in the garage, now, a strangely enchanting lo-fi-grooving, shredded-to-hell bubblegum pop Frankenstein.
Its bloodstream equally addled by caffeine and nicotine and coursing with a fuzzed and fibrous rock n roll flush, its gaunt, metallic body scrapes its way exuberantly through a skateboarding album of 2-minute ravenous pounders.
Roaring, squalling solos, steady trucking bass ripples and distortion-blustered vocals that balance a keyed-up cadence with a melodious belt; there’s light flares of strutting glam-rock, blues wringing, cathartic punk huffing tromps and relentless…relentlessly shakeable rhythms.
There are no slow songs.
–This project brings together members of The Go, the Detroit Cobras, Magic Shop, the Readies, Electric Fire Babies, Isles of ESP, Conspiracy of Owls and Hi-Speed Dubbing. They’ve got an album out on California-based cassette mavens Burger Records.
