THE GANTS
Roadrunner - The Best Of (Sundazed)

Reviewed by Jason Thornberry



Wretched name, fellas. Merseybeat by way of Mississippi. British Invasion via the Deep South USA. Easily of the best groups you've never heard of. I first heard the Gants on the Rhino compilation Nuggets. They really stood alone, with the Elastik Band, the Sonics, and the Music Machine. A great band that never (sadly) even got big enough for a 'Where Are They Now?' segment on VH-1.
