Jack White called them the best garage rock band since the 60's and I absolutely believe that he believes that: it's hard to imagine they weren't an influence on the early White Stripes sound.
He might even be right, too; the Gories cut right to the sound's ugly, faltering heart. The playing's so loose, the instruments so fucking fuzzed out, all the vocals yelped and sneered out of tune and off-time. A glorious collision of blues, rockabily and punk, every song effortlessly dirty and utterly sincere 4/5
