1) Garage band form italy. About debut record called Voodoo You Love :
Here is what we got in this fine album: Six men, phantom guitars, swirling farfisa, liner notes by Massimo Del Pozzo and Batlord (of the Fuzztones), thanks by the Preachers to Rudi (c’mon you know who…) and the Fuzztones for their great advice, 8 original punkers and 2 covers of ‘Little Red Book’ and ‘That’s The Bag I’m In’! If you can’t figure out what this is all about, probably you are wasting your time in here… For the ones that the above makes sense, please add some more Fuzztones sound and some Chesterfield Kings too and you get the Preachers debut album! Dig The Fuzz!!!

In 1965, the Preachers were as wild as it comes, both in image and sound. Despite their long haired/holier than thou hybrid look, this L.A. fivesome didnt preach so much as howl a hi-octane punk-blues for the Sunset Strip set. Their greatest moment remains "Who Do You Love," an insanely intense reading by the groups original teenage wildman, Richard Fortunato. Moonglow Records canned him for being too uncommercial, which just means hes one of our favorites. The Preachers tried riding the folk-rock wave but thankfully, they always come out sounding like the Preachers. Their previously-unheard "Hey Joe" is a thrilling folk-rock failure full of improvised words and the most nasally vocalizing this side of the Seeds. Moonglow Records hated this one too, which just means you gotta hear it. Its our turn to preach about these garage heroes, so we've also included their classic "Stay Out of My World."
