On this day, January 7, 1982, The Fleshtones released their debut album, Roman Gods. Known for their high-energy blend of garage rock and punk, the band brought a fresh and vibrant sound to the early 80s music scene.

While Roman Gods only peaked at #174 on the Billboard charts, the album is widely regarded as a cult classic among fans of the garage rock revival. Tracks like The World Has Changed and Shadow Line captured the band’s dynamic spirit and solidified their reputation as one of New York’s most electrifying live acts.

Did You Know? The Fleshtones were formed in Queens, New York, in 1976 and are considered pioneers of “Super Rock,” a term they coined to describe their unique sound.

Have you listened to Roman Gods? How do you think The Fleshtones influenced the garage rock revival of the 80s?
