Every gearhead knows that a huge engine in a light car will create the most horsepower. Applying what they learned in auto shop are Austin's
Those Peabodys. The band has stripped its framework to the bare essentials, and sloshed the fuel from bass, drums, and two guitars into its furious rock & roll engine. The result? Rubber-burning metal with no room for posing and no patience for reticence. Presented in what sounds like glorious mono,
Unite Tonight is a marvel of cowbells, Les Pauls, and half-time,
Sabbath-style instrumental freak-outs. And while it isn't stoner rock per se,
Those Peabodys' sound can be similar to bands normally associated with that genre, such as
Fu Manchu or
Monster Magnet.
