The Lords Of Altamont are back with another blast of gasoline-soaked rock and roll. The long-running garage psych rockers have released their eighth studio album, ‘Forever Loaded’, through Heavy Psych Sounds Records. Ten tracks, no brakes. The record captures the raw pulse that has powered the group for nearly three decades.
The new album dives straight into the grit. Riffs grind. Organs howl. Rhythm sections hit like engines firing to life. ‘Forever Loaded’ moves from dive-bar chaos to full-throttle psychedelic drive, keeping the group’s signature swagger intact. The music lands hard and loud, a sharp reminder of why The Lords Of Altamont remain one of garage rock’s most relentless forces.
The story behind the name reaches back to the infamous 1969 Altamont Free Concert, an event that marked a darker turn in rock culture. The Lords Of Altamont channel that tension into their sound. Detroit muscle, Sunset Strip sleaze, London R&B, and Bowery punk all collide inside these songs.
The group formed in 1999 when vocalist and organist Jake Cavaliere teamed up with fellow motorcycle rider Johnny DeVilla of The Bomboras. The early years included a first show at Hollywood’s legendary venue The Garage and touring alongside icons like The Cramps and The Who. MC5 bassist Michael Davis later joined their ranks, further cementing the group’s connection to rock history.
Decades later, Jake Cavaliere continues to lead a fierce lineup that delivers hard-driven performances around the world. ‘Forever Loaded’ stands tall in their catalog, a roaring statement from rockers who refuse to slow down.
