It’s Saturday night, we are down the Boars Head, a couple of ales, the place is packed as the band take the stage, and launch into ‘Becoming A Nuisance’, from an album “recorded loud for playing louder”. The pounding of the guitar, bass and drums grows stronger, louder, with punk attitude to the fore. What a night is in store for the audience!
That’s how I’d imagine The Brian James Band performing new album ‘The Guitar that Dripped Blood’ in a live environment because through the speakers it seems grungy, muddy and massively to the point for a sonic live show.
THE Dammed and Lords of The New Church founder has returned with a no holds barred rock’n’roll record, not for the faint hearted. The band includes a couple of special guests: Dead Boys legend Cheetah Chrome and Adam Becvare (Black Halos/LustKillers) and the cover is by noted horror poster artist Graham Humphries.
Ten tracks recorded for the most part in Brighton, have produced a raw rock n’ roll record.
“I didn’t do this to be rich and famous. I started off because it’s the only thing I wanted to do in life, and it still is.” Said Brian recently, so let’s be thankful that these guys still keep on doing it!
