The Warlocks
" Phoenix Album"
(Birdman Records)

These guys aren't sure if they want to be the Velvet Underground, or the Dandy Warhols. Actually, they probably want to be both. And they do a fine job of it. Saturated guitars yielding 1-4-5 chordings, and some seriously moving drums provide most of the force. If you've dipped into Grand Mal, then your chips should be the Warlocks. They've been doing it right since 1998 in Los Angeles, and released their first EP on father figure indie label Bomp! Records.
If you own any of the following records, Phoenix Album should be in your folder as well: White Light, White Heat - Velvet Underground; Maledictions - Grand Mal; …The Dandy Warhols Come Down - Dandy Warhols; American Beauty - The Grateful Dead.
