MAX BONDI
OLI BARRETT | | Sounds Like | "The Academy can spend all the money in Oxford on PA equipment, but nothing can ever sound as loud as a full throttle drummer in the Port Mahon, and American Gods boast a very good one. They make a very fine clatter, equal parts Stooges
and Thee Headcoats, but with a pop heart beating in the middle – in fact, some of the yearning vocal lines would fit comfortably onto an REM single, though they’ll probably hate us for writing that." - Nightshift
"Half way through a plate of wedges, above us exploded in bouts of massive drum action, a foot village vibe that forced the abandoning of food as we shot upstairs... American Gods they were called, the sound a stop/start assault on the senses… jutting shapes that had a crazy, sometimes perverse logic of their own. The bass a meat rack of Bauhaus churn, the hammered drum kit smashing the air in flurries of energy, lead guitar curving up the roasted corpse, lyrics hopelessly lost in loudness…" - Rottenmeats | | Type of Label | Major |
