Featuring within its ranks Tony Krank (founder of Krank Amplifiers), White Demons is a band intent on using distorted amplification to its supreme advantage: White Demons, in a word, is a loud band. Coming from the pure rock scene that’s given us the likes of the Hellacopters, the Backyard Babies and the Space Cowboys, White Demons rock just as hard as those bands, albeit in a slightly different way. Whereas the aforementioned all have healthy doses of punk sprinkled into the rawk fury, White Demons is more a by-product of the AC/DC, and especially AC/DC with the mighty Bon Scott. That said, White Demons still incorporates its own sense of purpose to things and, at times, even enters into the same headspace as Canada’s way- too-underrated Tricky Woo (track down a copy of Woo’s 1999 masterpiece Sometimes I Cry - you won’t regret it), a sonic syndicate that praises the loud and the loud only. Say Go’s highlights are the record’s title track, album opener “Spit On My Liver” and “In The Flesh,” probably the world’s best driving tune ever.
