Witch: We Intend to Cause Havoc!

Every time they delve into some thought-obscure corner of international rock, Now-Again takes great care to highlight it the same way other labels would venerate influential punk and classic rock forebears. This peaked with the deluxe treatment given to Zamrock pioneers Witch with this box set, featuring all five of the LPs released by the original lineup in the ’70s. It’s far and away the best way to experience the rise of a band whose sound carries far beyond the borders of home, and reveals just how many angles they could take, from power-poppy garage rock to heavy blues dirges to prog-leaning R&B.
