And The Celestial Ascension

• “These ratbastards kept it simple and friendly, playing blues and boogie for folks who just wanted to down their likker and smoke their bongs to the sound of some good-time rock’n’roll. Unlike, say, Sweet, the guys in Gods and Punks needn’t look back at old photos of themselves in glittering silver crotch-high platform boots and say, “What was I thinking? I look like a total git!”

• “These guys have started putting out great 70's-infused stoner grooves in 2016 (1972 in their alternate timeline) and now, three years later (1975 on their calendar) they have seriously outdone themselves. The heavy punch is still there, intact, but the songs are much, much more engaging, dynamic, nuanced, proggy and replete with psychedelic rides, swirling guitar solos, quiet interludes, majestic climaxes and much good ole riffy grit. It's a real pleasure to bath in such heavy brilliance.”

• “While this album still has its heavy sections, it is more psychedelic and complex then the bands earlier work. Still very good, but in a slightly different way”

• “I normally like to find an artist at the beginning of their journey so that I can grow & follow them on their creative journey. Unfortunately I’ve only just stumbled across G&P but in no way am I disappointed. I’m more excited as now I have a back catalogue to discover. Hard to pigeonhole. I hear a lot of classic metal in the composition, but the sound in its entirety is much more complex & grand. Strangely, I can’t hear any Punk. Just God like drop-tuned riffy goodness.”
