Born out of the sticky end of the summer of 1998, the Brimstones have lured hundreds of sinners into their clutches with the promise of true rock & roll salvation. Transcending the trappings of a mere rock show, the Brimstones make each performance an event of biblical proportions their legion of faithful followers and a wake of wreckage can attest to that.
The Brimstones inject instrumental and beat music with manic energy, taking the surf & garage standard to depths unfathomable. Sacrificing both personal safety and vintage instruments, they shove an evening of rhythm & blues inspired chaos down their audiences throats. For those willing to stand close to the commotion, theres bubblegum hooks and greasy dance steps (Original Sin, Cloven Hoof Stomp), creepy graveyard scares (Abandon All Hope Ye Who Surf Here), snot-nosed 60s punk (Baby Gets Around and Voodoo, Hex & Shake It), and a little blue melody to drown your soul in (A Minute to Live, A Second to Die and This Side of the Other Side).
The Brimstones message has converted members of all faiths and denominations including garage, punk, psychobilly, ska, surf, hardcore, klezmer, indie rock...and everything in between. Theyve shared pulpits and congregations with the Cramps, the Damned, the Nekromantix, the Slackers, Dick Dale, The Seeds, The Remains, ? & The Mysterians, Demented Are Go, Dexter Romwebber, Against All Authority, the Woggles, the Black Lips, the Independents, Kings of Nuthin, the World/Inferno Friendship Society & the Chelsea Smiles to name just a few.
The Brimstones mark has been burned into such well known stages as Irving Plaza, BB Kings, CBGBs, the Stone Pony and Maxwells and at festivals like SXSW, Cavestomp, Heavy Rebel Weekender, Big New York Psychobilly Rumble and TrentonFest. And for those not on the social gadfly tip, the Brimstones have performed on the airwaves of radio stations such as WFMU, as well as having live performances streamed, archived and released on CD by eMusicLive (for those who are slaves to the machine).
Devoted Brimstones followers hold positions in some of the best publications around, including Rue Morgue (...the lunacy of 60 surf punk and...Saturday morning horror matinees....Choose Brimstones or perish in salvation); The Rutgers Review ([Satans Crate] will make you...dance like a fool); The Continental (These are classics...); Phil Dirt, Surfs Up, WKFJC says Evil & destabilizing...driven like a Hammer film. As a testament to truth in advertising, Asbury Park Press: If you havent seen the Brimstones live, you should shoot yourself in the face!
What kind of rock & roll tent revival could inspire such loyalty amongst its followers? Up front is organ player/singer/chaplain the Deacon, grinding keys & vocal cords until his blood decorates the stage. To his left is the Brain, pushing Fender amps & his fingers beyond the point of ruin. Holding up the bottom end is Pogo, who digs such a deep groove with his bass that he ends up neck deep in trouble. Rounding out this circle of ceremony is Tommy Q-Ball, so hopped up on the skins that he cant sit down if his life depended on it...though yours just might.
As the music scene thrives, the Brimstones are stealing it for themselves, one soul at a time. If the end comes tomorrow, will you be saved? The choice is yours...either get burned or get lost!!!

As always a double A
Monster Maker -
Wailing psychedelic guitar versus smoked-out keys... man versus monster... the big final battle that sees blood shed on the desk, the eyeball to eyeball... amped up, beefed up sonic attack sees the victor stood cold sweats. Blooded, victorious and damned.
I Think You Two Should Leave -
Funk, as imagined by Tortoise taking on The James Gang... white boy distorted funk meets gonzoid electronics, all shot in Super 8 with Bruce Lee.
