***Bearded, dirty, and riding the brink of the stoner rock revolution, the new heroes of thee electric guitar mayhem, Midnite Snake are a Pittsburgh power trio who play instrumental acid rock until death does part. Alexei Plotnicov on electric guitar, Jim Lingo on electric bass, on drums Paul Quattrone (of Modey Lemon greatness), and Fog Hog on electric fog deliver supreme feedback over-drive psycho rock. These monsters will be touring the United States (especially the East Side) upon album release. Already buzzing in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, so look out. Midnite Snake are no slouches in the business of overwhelming unassuming audiences with their fuzzed-out ritualistic jams. Chalk it up to their extended guitar freakouts, a relentlessly pummeling rhythm section and a hyperactive smoke machine that often all but obscures bassist Jim Lingo, guitarist Alexei Plotnicov and drummer Paul Quattrone in a pungent issue as thick and primal as the racket the trio summons up.... Plotnicov [unleashes] psychedelic, bluesy solos that sizzle like unstable isotopes atop Lingo and Quattrone's bedrock-solid riff-mantras. --Adam MacGregor, Pittsburgh Pulp |
