A wild, loud, raw New Jersey hard psych beast that’s been a favorite target of record collectors, dealers, bootleggers, and swamp dwellers for the past two decades, originally released on the Zonk! label.
Chugging guitars, screaming solos, gruff shouted vocals, hard-hitting drums, and a thumping bass. Also described in this manner: “Totally fu*ked up, messed up New Jersey hard psych monster that can’t be bettered. Loud, wasted vocals, speedfreak riffing / soloing, bashing rhythm section, like a hayride to hell. To me, one of the all-time best albums if you like drugged-out 60s anarchic hard psych.” Or like so: ”This album is bleeding with that authentic dirty basement sound built around a solid set of catchy heavy weight tracks influenced by the holy trinity of Cream, Blue Cheer and Jimi Hendrix!
The bible of underground psych rock, Acid Archives, says this about Sainte Anthony’s Fyre: “This legendary private press is rated as one of the ultimate local basement hard rock blowouts by many connoisseurs. Released as early as 1970, the end result has some similarities to MC5′s hallowed Kick Out the Jams, but I find this a superior and more powerful album.” Shindig! magazine, which majors in all things 60's and psychedelic, proclaims: “a masterpiece of zonked out, fuzz-drenched hard rock.”
