"Danny Lee Blackwell""s Night Beats released their self-titled debut album back in 2011 and 2024 sees a long-overdue vinyl reissue hit the racks courtesy of UK label Fuzz Club. An acid-drenched modern garage-rock classic in the Texan thirteenth-floor tradition the band""s R&B-inspired Western Psychedelic sound on this 12-track set is a reckoning a shoot-out at dawn the ear-splitting peel-out that leaves nothing but a cloud of red dust in its wake. Following early releases in the shape of the ""H-Bomb"" 45 and a split 10"" with UFO Club (a collaborative project between Blackwell and The Black Angels"" Christian Bland) the ""Night Beats"" LP was the first full-length introduction to the band and propelled them to the forefront of burgeoning contemporary psych scene in a blaze of scuzzy rock""n""roll release. Heavy touring immediately ensued and hasn""t let up in the years that followed and the definitive Night Beats hit ""Puppet On A String"" has since clocked up millions of streams and become the soundtrack to an underground fuzz-worshipping generation."
