7 Hour Darkness Invasion: God Ain't Dead Yet

Take bits from the Bloodhound Gang, The Libertines, Blur and let it simmer for a couple of hours. That's the recipe that 7 Hour Darkness Invasion might have used for their new album God Ain't Dead Yet. Let's call it slacker surf rock with Britpop, shoegaze and punk trying to be part of the equation.

It's a weird and wild ride, with off-key vocals and occasional screaming. Anything goes with this band, but there is a method in their madness, with witty lyrics to boot. Naming tunes "I mean, it's a good album". "Queer as in Fuck You" or Another Song might no go down for those who cherish the mystique of the artistic process, but this down-to-earth approach works like a charm. Play loud and then play it even louder again.
