Rock'n'roll will save your soul..........................


"Former Hypnotic gives rock its roll back.
The ear-searing, over-cranked sonic savagery of The Jim Jones Revue makes for a breathless listening experience. Easily as visceral and desperate as anything previously committed to tape, this extraordinary debut immediately replicates a brink-dwelling Jerry Lee crescendo, and clings on to its roaring mayhem for 30 exhausting minutes while tilting so far into the red that it almost hurts.
Surging ever higher, urging their irretrievably damned souls towards a bug-eyed, finger-blistering, feral meltdown, former Thee Hypnotics/Black Moses soul-flayer Jim Jones's 10-legged beast offers no quarter. From the tarmac-tearing wheel-spin of Princess & The Frog, through the speaker-splintering sprint of Rock N Roll Psychosis, to the exhaust-fume blues of Cement Mixer, this is rock's tired old jalopy stripped drag-race lean and thrashed until it chokes. Streaking past the comparatively limping latter-day legacies of the MC5, Dolls and Pistols, The JJR positively redefine raw, untamed, born-with-a-tail rock'n'roll.
8/10. Ian Fortnam" Classic Rock magazine review.

This is the blast of original rock'n'roll played in a dirty manner - outstanding release that you must hear!
