Brand new sonic impulses…

1 April 2019

Washington D.C. rockers PRIESTS launch their brand new sophomore album, entitled
‘THE SEDUCTION OF KANSAS‘ at the end of this week. To keep impatient fans hungry
and happy the band just dropped another track off the LP, the third one already. It’s
the turbulent opener called ‘JESUS’ SON’.

Guess what? Katie Alice Greer, Priests‘ charismatic frontwoman is Jesus son, not a goody-goody one it seems, as she sings: “I am Jesus’ son / I sparkle like the setting sun / I think I want to hurt someone/ I’m young and dumb and full of cum / I think I’m gonna hurt someone.”

See/hear Jesus’ son rocking out right here…

Smashing live performances…

Here are the awesome PRIESTS from Washington D.C. led by charismatic frontwoman Katie Alice Greer. She has the glamorous touch of a teenage Debbie Harry and rages
like a furious Courtney Love used to do 24/7. She’s backed by a tremendous drums/bass turbo and riff machine GL Jaguar . The final result cuts like a Swiss knife. Sharp & caustic. Check here their zealous live rendition of PINK WHITE HOUSE from their debut album ‘Nothing Feels Natural’ as performed KEXP Radio in Seattle…

PRIESTS – Barbed Wire High Mass Of Steamy Surf Punk In Sweaty Belgium…

PRIESTS – Trefpunt club – Ghent, Belgium – Sunday 28 May 2017

Sunday, bloody hot Sunday. In that cozy little club in the center of my hometown Ghent the temperature stroke all spectators as a merciless heat wave in a crowded sauna, yesterday. Why not just getting drunk outside? Because the awesome PRIESTS from Washington D.C. came to energize our sweaty bodies with some tremendously loud, sharply outspoken and whipping punk havoc. Pushed by a hammering rhythm section, spiced with some pretty bouncy surf guitar swagger and in the middle of it all the biting VOICE of charismatic frontwoman Katie Alice Greer. She has the glamorous touch of a teenage Debbie Harry, she rages like fury Courtney Love used to do 24/7 and at times her immense vehemence reminded me of the cutting intensity of the late, wonderful Poly Styrene (from 70s London punk band X-Ray Spex). Yes, folks, this dynamite performer turned the place into an even hotter oven! This clip will give you an idea why we all defied the heat…

And after releasing two tapes, a single, and an EP over the past few years PRIESTS finally released their debut album NOTHING FEELS NATURAL. Stream the frenzy here…
