IN THE GARAGE, VOL. 4: Thee Ludds

Talk about authentic garage rock. This is raw, unforgiving music that punches into your ears and flows through your veins; this is infectious. Blaring, distorted electric guitars and bass, a drum kit that sound like it consists of buckets and trashcan lids, the piercing punch of organ, and snarling, basically unintelligible vocals.

Thee Ludds are a band out of Leicester, UK consisting of Daniel (organ, guitar, vocals), Robin (guitar), Jack (bass), and Emily (drums). The band is a relatively young one, but they sound like they've been around for ages. The spirit of garage rock is what gives them life, but it's the conviction of punk that gives them their true grit and attention-snatching attitude. Check out two tracks after the jump as well as a live performance filmed on 16mm.




As it turns out, Emily drums on a kid-sized drum kit. Pretty awesome! Watch the band perform "The Rainbow and the Superman" below.

"I Told You I Would" is from Thee Ludds' latest tape EP. You can pick it up here or here.
"Skin and Bones" is from Thee Ludds' latest 7". You can pick it up here.
