The Magnificent Brotherhood - The Magnificent Brotherhood (2008)

Their astounding debut album is a cohesive and very strong unit that unapologetically fits between purest stinging garage punk and complex late 60s fuzzy psych.
If in the market for proper, heart felt garage/psych that has nothing in common with today’s breed of same ol’ fucked up, doe-eyed punk blues duos and tried and tested ‘70s punk wannabes, The Magnificent Brotherhood are your salvation. (...)

After the opening few bars of “Cracker” you know you’re onto something good. The Magnificent Brotherhood offer one big “fuck off” to the past 10 year misinterpretation of garage-punk and psych. “Lifetime” could quite easily be from one of the best records of ’67, but it ain’t. it’s brand spanking new!
Yet this is music that appeals to teenagers and general music fans, as much as the elite, and they’re causing a mini-riot in their native Germany. With the right label, this is music that could reach the audiences of The Zutons, The Coral or The White Stripes. But sheeeeeiite, The Magnificent Brotherhood could eat those bands for breakfast! Quicksilver Messenger Service, Clear Light, HP Lovecraft and Love mix with token ’66 garage and The Magnificent Brotherhood are destined to be our music’s saviors. Astounding!
Every reader of this mag should not be without this album. What these guys can do with a Gibson SG, Vox organ and dual vocals is beyond belief!
