The Nomads - Where The Wolf Bane Blooms

When I see a title like this I just have to listen. I could not just sit by and not listen; some songs and song titles are like big red giant buttons…that you just have to push. Based in Stockholm, the Nomads have stood out from other garage rock revivalists because of the intensity of their performances and the wide range of their influences, which extend beyond the usual '60s bands to encompass '70s punk, heavy metal, rockabilly, and blues. They are a Garage Punk band founded in 1981 by by Hans Östlund, Nick Vahlberg, Joakim Tärnström, and Ed Johnson. They have a huge sound and are modern masters in the war of distortion. Their first release was a crude remake of the Sonics' "Psycho" followed with their second single, a blistering rendition of "Night Time" by the Strangeloves, and received wider recognition with their first mini-album, Where The Wolf Bane Blooms.
