Comprised of Kimmie Queen (vocals), Cody Wyoming (guitar/vocals), Michelle Bacon (bass/vocals), Steve Gardels (drums), Rod Peal (guitar), and Josh Mobley (keys), Kansas City, MO-based sextet The Philistines formed back in 2013, and since their formation they’ve developed a reputation for a sound that draws from classic stoner rock and psych rock — as the sextet pairs enormous, buzzing power chords, a driving motorik groove, thundering drumming, and an expansive song structure as you’ll hear on “A Twitch of The Death Nerve,” the first single off the sextet’s full-length debut The Backbone of Night, which was released through The Record Machine Records earlier this week.
The band recently performed and shot The Backbone of Night’s lead single at Kansas City’s KCPT’s Studio A — and it was simulcast on The Bridge, 90.9FM. Check out the live footage, folks.
