Sello: Bang! Records

In the early 2000s, The Hydromatics brought together three scenes, three cities, and one shared devotion to rock'n'roll: the fiery tradition of Detroit, the raw punch of Amsterdam, and the high-energy attitude of Scandinavia. Fronted by none other than Scott Morgan (Sonic's Rendezvous Band), one of the great voices of Detroit rock, and backed by Tony Slug (LOVESLUG) and a band built out of genuine love for the legacy of Sonic's Rendezvous Band, the result was Powerglide-a record that is tough, streetwise, soulful, elegant, and raw all at once.Originally released in 2001, Powerglide captures The Hydromatics in full flight. Original songs sit alongside explosive takes on material connected to the Sonic's Rendezvous universe, all delivered with nerve, conviction, and the kind of authority that simply cannot be faked. The guitars bite, the rhythm section drives relentlessly, and above all there is Scott Morgan's voice-capable of sounding fierce, wounded, and defiant within the very same line.Far from being a mere exercise in homage, Powerglide stands tall as a living, breathing record with a personality all its own: high-octane rock'n'roll fueled by rhythm & blues soul and steeped in the unmistakable spirit of Detroit. This is an album for those who understand that proto-punk, garage soul, and real rock'n'roll were never separated by any meaningful border in the first place.Bang! Records now brings Powerglide back to vinyl, giving this powerful and long-overdue album the format it deserves. A necessary reissue of a genuine cult favorite: wild, electric, and made by people who truly knew what this music was all about.----------------------- A comienzos de los 2000, The Hydromatics reunieron tres escenas, tres ciudades y una misma fe en el rock'n'roll: la tradición incendiaria de Detroit, la pegada salvaje de Amsterdam y la actitud high energy escandinava. Al frente, nada menos que Scott Morgan (Sonic's Rendezvous Band), una de las grandes voces del rock de Detroit, acompañado por Tony Slug (Loveslug) y una banda construida desde el amor más auténtico por el legado de Sonic's Rendezvous Band. El resultado fue Powerglide: un disco duro, callejero, soul, elegante y crudo a la vez.Publicado originalmente en 2001, Powerglide captura a The Hydromatics en estado de gracia. Aquí conviven composiciones propias con revisiones explosivas del universo Sonic's Rendezvous, todo ello tocado con nervio, convicción y ese tipo de autoridad que no se puede fingir. Hay guitarras que muerden, una base rítmica que empuja sin descanso y, sobre todo, la voz de Scott Morgan, capaz de sonar feroz, herida y orgullosa en la misma frase.Lejos de ser un simple ejercicio de reverencia, Powerglide suena como un disco vivo, con personalidad propia: rock de alto octanaje, alma de rhythm & blues y un poso de Detroit que atraviesa cada surco. Un álbum para quienes entienden que entre el proto-punk, el soul de garaje y el rock'n'roll más auténtico no hay fronteras reales.Bang! Records recupera ahora en vinilo una obra que llevaba demasiado tiempo pidiendo volver a girar en un plato. Una reedición necesaria de un título de culto: salvaje, eléctrico y hecho por gente que sabía perfectamente de qué iba todo esto.
