Harnessing chaos and charm, Pere Ubu’s David Thomas rewrote rock’n’roll: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/apr/24/pere-ubu-david-thomas-rewrote-rocknroll

'Other fans ranged from Rebus writer Ian Rankin to Beach Boys lyricist Van Dyke Parks, who once introduced Thomas to Brian Wilson with the words: “Meet the other genius”.'

#NowPlaying this wild new band I found the other day-- they're called The Lotts, they're from Warrington, UK, and this is their most recent EP, 'Ice Cold': https://thelotts.bandcamp.com/album/ice-cold

It came out in 2022, but it sounds like it could've come out in the 60s. They also have some newer singles from 2024 on Spotify, if you choose to brave that wasteland.

At first I heard a definite Stones influence, then Beatles, both of whom were influenced Chuck Berry, who I also hear. I hear some Kinks too, and maybe even Zombies. And as @wendigo pointed out, there's some Blue Cheer in there. Great, simple blues-based fuzzed out rock with catchy, killer songs.

More of this, less of everything else.
