URL = http://www.sleazegrinder.com/flashmetalhypnotics.htmThee Hypnotics were a 1990s
UK garage/psychedelic/hard rock band. They were part of the earlyalternative rock scene, releasing 2 full-lengthalbum s and anEP from 1989-1990 before taking an enforced hiatus due to their drummer breaking his back in a car accident while they were on tour in theUS . They later regrouped and released a couple more records but never achieved the mainstream success they seemed on the verge of reaching as their similar-sounding contemporariesThe Black Crowes did. Their music was mostly influenced by late-60s blues-influencedhard rock bands likeThe Stooges ,MC5 ,The Doors ,Blue Cheer , earlyLed Zeppelin andPink Fairies . They remain a largely-forgotten precursor to thestoner rock of today.Discography
