MEDIEVAL MOSQUITO - ELECTRIC PEACE (1987)

This band could easily existed in the early seventies , because of their hard rock psychedelic sound and the vocals style of Brian Kild.It was their track "I think I'll die" in the third Battle Of The Garages which put them on the garage-punk map!This is their third album , a follow-up to the "Road To Peace" which Enigma records refused to publish because of the very low sales of their previous one,"Rest In Peace" (it was finally released in 1989 from Barred records)!Medieval Mosquito is a very interesting album with a hard-rock-garage-psychedelic sound with a great use of keyboards from Jim Hawkinson (he died in 1987 in a motorbike accident) and an also great guitar work of the Chicago Blues legend Honey Davis. All that , with the dark , violent and sometimes pessimistic lyrics along with Kild's interpetation lead to great result!This is a de-noised vinyl rip.

I dig these guys alot, esp. their Rest in Peace mini-LP, which overlays Kild's cynical croon atop a late 60's, Hendrix-aware psychedelic gtr thing. More people need to hear these guys. Thanks for this.

And what happened to Honey Davis, anyway? That man sure had finger dexerity to spare.

In college I bought this album, I think because they played "Case of Dynamite" on the local radio. I liked it, and would love to buy/find an MP3 of it.
