Neutral Spirits

The story

A group formed by some high school teenagers from Decatur, Tennessee in 1972. Five band members travelled to a studio in Atlanta, Georgia to record eight original songs they had been working on for years. laid down some Hendrix/Doors-style garage-psychedelic music and made great use of the (early) distortion pedals with their guitars. Pretty impressive for a band whose members ranged from age 14 to 17. The classic track is "Power City" with it's goona-get-you-girl blues riffing and jamming.
