About Me |
|
| The Touched play beautifully twisted rock'n'roll.Too noisy for garage rock, too experimental for punk rock, the Touched occupy a unique cusp in rock'n'roll.The band, Brad Bell (vox, synth) Justin Eslinger (bass) Andy Matter (drums) and J Aughbern (guitar) deftly combine feedback sqawks, electronic beeps and powerful rhythms that draw on bands like the Velvet Underground and the Stooges, to make a sound that is entirely unique and their own. | |

Music:Member Since: 12/29/2004Band Members: Brad Bell-- Vox, synth:Justin Eslinger--Bass:Andy Matter--Drums:J Aughbern--Guitar Influences: Stooges, Rocket from the Tombs, Sonny Sharrock, VU... Sounds Like: The Touched, s/t EP (demo): If you can get past the cover art, which is unlikely given that it features a lone chocolate-covered banana, you'll discover that Louisville's The Touched are yet another band trapped in a sticky sludge faintly reminiscent of the Stooges. As music, the EP barely qualifies: the mealy-mouthed yelps and laughably mixed drumming (um, guitars please?) obscure whatever small pleasures might be extracted. However, as an academic exercise, it does serve as an important reminder of how truly exceptional Detroit's original sons were. For every 1000 bands that attempts this caustic, misanthropic testosterone-punk, maybe one succeeds in avoiding the perilous tendency to bury itself in the rubble. Sadly, The Touched hasn't won the lottery here. ---popmatters.com Touched play woman - Lebowski Fest 2006I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) Record Label: Black Velvet Fuckere , Almost Ready Records Type of Label: Major |
