The People’s Temple – Musical Garden

Only 1 left in stock

$9.00

“Hailing from Lansing, Michigan, these guys bring the psychedelic leanings of the Electric Prunes and fuse them to the kick ass rock power of The Seeds and somehow give it a modern stamp that gives it the authenticity that many bands strive for but few actually achieve. On their latest album, Musical Garden, the band offers up perhaps their most satisfying batch of songs, more varied than its predecessors, and perhaps a touch more enjoyable because of it.

The People’s Temple has always brought the rock, but Musical Garden shows the band bringing the tunes as well. “Handsome Nick” is as catchy as anything they have ever done. It features a great vocal, and a driving beat that just doesn’t let up. It’s propulsivity is infectious. I dare you to NOT tap your foot to this one. “I Heard You Singing” is the type of early 60’s nugget that Barry and The Remains would have released, it’s slower, more earnest in the vocal delivery, but with all of the reverb and distortion it still hits you in the gut like a sack of Idaho potatoes. “Good Times, Bad Luck” is another throwback to the mid-sixties. Where many garage bands focus on the late 60s and early 70s, The People’s Temple are hitting the sweet spot, right before The Beatles left the concert stage for good. 1965 was a fertile year for Rock and Roll, and ripe for the taking. Bands had tunes and attitude, and on Musical Garden, The People’s Temple has shown that they learned that lesson well. ” – Kevin Poindexter
