Glasspack - Bridgeburner

Distortion ... yelling ... distortion. The Glasspack’s music is raw, tough rock that will please the ears of fans of such booze-fuelled combos as Five Horse Johnson, Alabama Thunder Pussy and their stoner rock brethren. Lead singer “Dirty” Dave Johnson sounds like he’s singing from the bottom of a well (presumably having fallen in after an all-night drinking binge and glass-gargling session), musically, the band is a poor-man’s Fu Manchu, with side orders of Monster Magnet  (Magnet guitarist Ed Mundell guests on closing instrumental 'Peepshow'), New Bomb Turks, Nebula and Kyuss. The Glasspack apparently knocked out the album  — 10 originals and a bareknuckled rendition of the Rolling Stones’ 'Gimme Shelter' — in the space of three days, and it sounds like it. If you like your stoner rock methed-up, rough and ready to rumble the Glasspack will no doubt be more than capable of smacking you about the head  in the way of your choosing.
