The Count Bishops - Speedball EP

» SPEEDBALL EP

The Bishops are exactly the sort of band we were looking for when we started this label. They have the raw energy and excitement which has been missing from so much of todays music. I'm still amazed when I think of the 5 hour session at Pathway when the band laid down 13 fantastic trax, 4 of which are included here. After listening to this this E.P. I'm sure you'll agree with me that as long as there are Bands like the COUNT BISHOPS around the future of rock'N'roll is Secure.

Review

Finally a new one -- this four-track EP dates from last year but you'd swear it was 1965 as th Bishops power through vintage Londonized R&B with as much velocity and as little regard for the original nuances as the Rolling Stones or Pretty Things in their prime. Every bit as good as Dr. Feelgood, with "Beautiful Delilah" perhaps the standout (other tracks: "Route 66," "I Ain't Got You," and "Teenage Letter").
