Petitioners review in The Big Takeover

Some press, just in time for the holidays! Get yourself a copy of the Petitioners vinyl only release and submit to their "ultra-heavy, power-chorded guitar rock!" Mark Suppanz says:

Formed in 1999 in Hoboken, NJ, The Petitioners' debut LP (available on vinyl only) is actually a seven-song compilation, selected from among the hundreds they recorded between 2000-2003. But if you didn't know better, you'd swear this was some vault find from the early '70s. Their ultra-heavy, power-chorded guitar rock brings to mind a ton of bands from then, including Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Grand Funk and MC5. (They include two covers: a slowed-up, twice-as-loud version of Roky Erickson's "Creature With the Atom Brain" and Manitoba's Wild Kingdom's "Speedball.") The lurching, more metal-leaning tracks might grow tiresome, but if they could put a whole album together with faster numbers like "Speedball" and the terrific, MC5-like powderkeg "Sweden," then we may have something.
