Unfettered garage rock from the Medway Delta, The Len Price 3's debut is a promising mix of Stooges rawness and Ramones-y pop suss, particularly on the sleazefest of 'Amsterdam'.
NME
These are the facts: bare-bones guitar, bass and drums; classic British-freak-beat song hooks and vocal harmonies; fifteen songs that roll over you like a mono copy of The Who Sing My Generation, in just half an hour. And no one in the 3 is named Len. Or Price.
Rolling Stone
The Len Price 3 are a garage pop band hailing from the Medway Towns. Their sound is forged in the Medway tradition, fusing driving energy, catchy hooks and a raw 60's garage sound
On disc and at live shows The Len Price 3 offer a truly memorable and invigorating sonic experience. Their first album, Chinese Burn, originally released by Laughing Outlaw and recently re-released on Little Steven's Wicked Cool label, offers something for everyone from the Devils of Chatham Town to childhood memories of fat wrestlers on Saturday afternoon TV
Their second album, Rentacrowd has just been released in the USA to rave reviews from the likes of Rolling Stone's David Fricke and MTV's Kurt Loder
Utilising vintage analogue equipment at full throttle, the live Len Price 3 experience channels that dynamic power into performances few bands can ever dream to muster.Comparisons will ultimately fall short of the mark, so do yourself a favour and give in to the sound of The Len Price 3....
Len Price 3 Live Review......
The Len Price 3 were like a gargantuan Pac-Man machine, hungry for back street blues and leaving the crowd looking like startled bunnies.
Dressed alike in stripy onion-seller shirts, they twisted their 30 minute stage run into a blur of boogie, basted in sludge and grime.
Forged in the fertile fields of the Medway Delta, The Len Price 3 are like surf-pop geniuses The Barracudas, should they have adopted Chatham as a base.

They played without let up and with a sharpness that would tear through the peacock suit of the most stylised sixties mod.
Indeed vocalist and main guitar mangler Glen Page struts about with a wired-ness that would knock Wilko Johnson astride.
Plenty of paltry pretenders have similar vintage gear but, like the exact opposite of parcel delivery services, The Len Price actually deliver the goods.
Pounding primeval punk paste that sets your teeth on edge like a tart Granny Smith's apple.
