We Are Paintermen

A collection of hard-driving R’n’B covers and originals from UK mods The Creation from 1967, ‘We Are Paintermen’ sunk without trace on release and has since been reappraised as a great, late 60s rock album. It’s a compilation so perhaps lacks coherency as an album but it’s still a strong collection with some excellent proto-hard rock guitar playing from guitarist Eddie Phillips giving the project an extremely tough sound for a 1967 album. Merseybeat meets The Beach Boys for a scuzzy garage rock out.
