The FIENDS (Canada)

The Fiends In Scareo
-CD/EP
1996 (Dionysus)



Re-Up!


It's time... to blow your mind... with a creepy crawly mess of sixties-inspired fuzz'n'farfisa courtesy the Fiends, the perfect soundtrack for midnight garden raids & grave robbing expeditions...

"Formed from various garage bands (The Enigmas, The 14th Wray, The Minstrels) Vancouver, Canada's The Fiends take their cue from faves such as The Music Machine, Screaming Lord Sutch, The Kinks, The Seeds and other 60's garage bands. Even though singer Greg says that the first two albums he bought were by 80s garage bands, The Gravedigger V and The Untold Fables! The Fiends sound like they carry switch-blades instead of garage records, using fuzz guitar, Farfisa organ and snotty, sometimes blood curdling screams, evil laughter, playing tight, creepy ditties with a gore-gore theme to 'em. This is super energetic 60's trash wrapped in graphics that will appeal to any horror film fan! Anyone who has seen them live can testify to their atomic powered energy level! -Dionysus

So fucking great to see that there's someone out there diggin' exactly the same stuff like me from the other side o'the ocean. You need some stuff from "Colour Me Psycho" (Pre-Forbidden Dimension), THEE CULT GODS from Canada ? Mitch Useless

Thanks for this. I was a big fan of the Enigmas, so it's good to hear more in that vein.

Cheers and Happy New Year, SamIam
