DADDY LONG LEGS, New York City's infamous band of punk rock blues-bashers, are ready to testify! Street Sermons, the band's fourth studio album, represents a wellspring of bottled-up feelings and emotions that need to be screamed and hollered. Produced by Oakley Munson of the Black Lips, the band expands upon their heavy sound. Featuring guests like punk rock legend Wreckless Eric providing backing vocals on "Nightmare" and "Silver Satin" and The Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian on "Ding-Ding Man," DADDY LONG LEGS are taking their sound to the streets and preaching at a gin joint near you.
"DADDY LONG LEGS takes the blues and turns them inside out, upside down, round about and renews their primal energy. My favorite rompin’ stompin’ New York band of the moment."
Lenny Kaye
"DADDY LONG LEGS have finally made a studio album that matches their reputation as a firecracker live act. These 12 original songs expand and solidify their blues-punk sound while keeping alive a tradition and vital part of American roots music. Sounds great!"
Jon Spencer
"...like Chicago blues fired at the moon, played by the demented children of the Pretty Things."
