The Witches, more than an ex-significant news from the Detroit underworld, although not much taken into consideration when it comes to garage sounds. Reached their fourth album in 2006, the band led by Troy Gregory eclectic multi-instrumentalist (which was part of Killing Joke, Dirtbombs, Flotsam & Jetsam, Swans, Spiritualized, Prong ..) did not publish anything from that very "Thriller" (Music for cats, 2006) although over Troy to continue his solo project, he's come out recently taking part in "That's all I need" (2010, Bloodshot Records) by Andre Williams . Moment to draw attention to this band with the publication of a sort of guide, 
"A haunted person's guide to the Witches' precisely, which retrieves some scattered titles of their discography. Assisted in this project da altrettanti personaggi illustri come John Nash (LCD Soundsystem, Electric Six ) e dalla produzione oltre che la partecipazione di Jim Diamond che con il suo Ghetto Recorder Studio è stato responsabile di quasi tutto quello che Detroit ha prodotto in ambito Garage rock negli ultimi vent’anni. The Witches rispolverano il migliore power-pop di fine sixties, attraverso dodici brani che a parte un paio di casi non superano lo standard dei 2/3 minuti, dettati dalla necessità d’immediatezza. 
Fin dall’iniziale Everyone the greatest che esprime la devozione a bands come Flaming Groovies, Barracudas, Standells and Monkees as well Creepin 'through your galaxy or pimp Lost gone with the real, able to turn in humors psych with The Haunted Regulars and (She got some kinda) Thing worth Robyn Hitchcock. The boundaries move up to 70s glam Marc Bolan as in boogie Attack ov thee Misfits Toyz or nell'ancheggiante Down on ugly streets . It is understood that no simple exercise is nostalgic, Troy and co. are looking for what was the spirit that animated these bands rather than intent on capturing the sound of an era, but the sound gets more refined and personal
refining and updating a genre that has always been a bit 'niche, perhaps a little' snubbed or mistreated like the pop-punk, bubblegum, psych-pop, power-pop or whatever you want to call it. Individually each of the elements of this group would know much more surprised many with experimentalism, but in fact this show even know how to keep their place, leaving the music on the first floor, and being led mainly by passion.
