Voordat A Better Dystopia vrijdag uitkomt geeft de MAGNET je nog een voorproefje en de kans om weer een ​​zinderende coverversie van een klassieker te checken. Bekijk hier de video voor Dave Wyndorf’s versie van “Motorcycle (Straight to Hell)”.

Mastermind Dave Wyndorf over het nummer:
“I’m psyched to unleash our version of ‘Motorcycle (Straight To Hell)’.  Table Scraps are a truly great band and prove again and again that garage punk fury lives!”

Dave Wyndorf over het onstaan van A Better Dystopia:
“We all agreed that we would be bored out of our minds within a month of lockdown. MONSTER MAGNET loves the road. It’s a lifestyle. So, I considered our options. Rather than panhandle on the internet, hawking masks and Zoom-rocking practice sessions for dollars, I suggested we record a “bunker record”. A total DIY affair (band only) recorded and mixed in Bob Pantella’s small but potent Freak Shop Studios/rehearsal space right here in New Jersey. But what to record?
I didn’t feel much like writing, but working on anything was better than watching the news as hospitals filled up, people died, and American politics went bat-shit crazy. The world roared “Dystopia! Apocalypse! Revolution!”. I’d heard those words before, and they brought to mind my childhood in the late 60’s/early 70’s… and the music… and short playlist of songs (just one of many) that I’d been carrying around with me on my whatever device to listen to before shows. Of course, these tunes have also been in my head for more or less my whole life. These were not the popular hits of the time. This was like a playlist from the 4th dimension… strange bits of musical obscurity, mostly dredged up from that inglorious and freaky “twilight zone” time that preceded Arena Rock, Heavy Metal, Reggae and Disco. A no-man’s land of hard rock that still had remnants of psychedelia and garage punk but had abandoned any notion of “flower power” or frat house fun. And of course, they rocked.
Yeah, these songs were it.”

Vandaag brengt MONSTER MAGNET een lyric video uit voor hun versie van The Scientists’ “Solid Gold Hell.”  Bekijk hem hier!

“I’m a huge fan of The Scientists and I just love the hell out of this song. It’s hypnotic, dark and sexual with a unique and amazing groove. In a cooler world we’d hear stuff like this blasting out of everyone’s speakers. I’d love to hear Billie Eilish take a crack at this one…,” zegt frontman Dave Wyndorf.

Over de nieuwe video vervolgt hij: “Joe Tait’s art is so damned interesting… Where else can one find Hieronymus Bosch, Pam Grier, Cold War Soviet monuments, the Dr. Strangelove war room, astronauts, dinosaurs AND rockers all in the same video?”
