Heavily influenced by the psychedelic sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators, the swagger of MC5/Stooges-era Detroit rock and roll, and the guttural noise of the 1960s garage-punk highlighted within the Back From the Grave series, Swedish five piece Baby Jesus have put together an explosive 10-track mind-melting self-titled debut release.

LA’s Gateway Drugs rather intriguingly comprise of three siblings (all children of the Knack’s Prescott Niles) and another non-family musician. Rather than giving us an updated My Sharona, instead the band delivers dark, heavy rock that borders on noisy and psychedelic with obvious reference points being the Jesus & Mary Chain, Sonic Youth and Brian Jonestown Massacre.
