2009 release. While it's clear this lot has spent hours in the garage - fondling vintage amps and Farfisas and cranking the Sonics' "Shot Down," Alice Cooper's Love It to Death and Jean & the Statesiders' version of the Yardbirds' "Putty (In Your Hands)", this ain't no history lesson. Sir Lord Von Raven, the man and his band, throw roots back to the '60s but what grows from that rich soil thrives with prickly-beautiful greenness, a vibrant child of heady Velvet Underground throwdowns and Hamburg nightclub Pop moxie.
