October 9 - Church Of Israelvis

Today's song is by legendary Trondheim underground band Israelvis. Led by singer/guitar player Viggo Mastad, they rose from the ashes of punk rock band Angor Wat, and quickly started making a name for themselves. While I heard and liked one of their first albums, Heart To Heart Politics and lived their 1993 album Albino Blue, I really got hooked on them through the title track of their 1995 mini album, Church of Israelvis. It has an infectious groove, a crushing riff, and eerie female vocals - and it is catchy as hell. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
