“We do what we want to do when we don’t have to do what we have to do.” Says ‘Fearless” Matt Kemp the band’s guitarist, primary songwriter, and frontman”
They’ve taken a unique approach with a sound that began as an experiment to combine the traditional Blues, with Punk, Metal & Grunge. It has developed into a sort of psychedellic, garage punk-blues that is unlike what anyone else is doing on the scene today.
Their debut record, ‘Vs the Magnificent Creature,’ has been met with critical acclaim, with some calling it a “Refreshing gust of artistic freedom,” and “Odd, but it’s fine.” Insightful and sometiems heartwrenching lyrics vocalized mostly by Kemp rest atop elements from the Blues, Punk and a dash of Psychedelia, with an almost lo-fi edge that cuts to the bone, and when performed live can be enthralling and dizzying on a primal and cerebral level. Timmy Braun, on drums, plays with such an explosive energy, he propels Kemp’s raunchy guitar into the stratosphere. These guys are no neophytes. They’ve been around the block once or twice and have more than a few tricks hidden in their gig bag. “Expect Surprises.”
this Oklahoma City-based duo. they have figured out how to perfectly balance familiarity and freshness, giving their own spin on classic themes, which makes them all the more captivating, engaging all the senses. Each show is a unique experience, utilizing theatre of the mind where an adventure unfolds. They invite you on an electrifying journey through sound and visual landscapes.
"Punky Bluester vs the Magnificent Creature" is more than an album; it's a revelation, a sonic adventure that defies expectations and challenges preconceived notions. Punky Bluester's unique approach to music distribution, initially offering the album exclusively to their loyal email subscribers, speaks volumes about their dedication to delivering a complete experience.
And now that their songs are available on streaming platforms, the guys plan to seek performance opportunities while continuing production on the follow up to PBvsMC so they can start afresh and take their growing fanbase on an entirely new adventure.
