When I hear the name Matra, I immediately think of the French brand's former Formula 1 and sports cars, which already looked very avant-garde in the 1970s and were very successful with rather simple technology. This almost decodes the Italian band. The Milan-based band sounds simultaneously proto and retro; proto in terms of simplicity: we simplify the music to a few chords and anticipate punk, and retro in terms of style; we have a bag full of 1960s styles to wear and don't know how to get rid...
Some usual suspects out of Sweden´s Stoner scene gathered together, plugged in their guitars, turned the amps on 11, did the same with their drummer and made forget that Borlänge is situated almost close to the arctic circle and not in Detroit´s neighborhood. This song is pure power and full pedal to the metal. More Hellacopters than the Hellacopters ever were, more raw and power than the iconic Stooges record. Great appetizer.
