The Priests
There are at least two bands/artists with this name: 1) A rock band from New York
2) Three Roman Catholic priests from Ireland. 1) This State-of-New-York foursome embraces the mythic garage-rock-psych sounds of yesterday while creating the music of tomorrow in their own image. Hypnotic guitar lines, fuzzed-out organ and tribalistic back beats build the foundations of their unusual and original sound.
