More about Priests? This is what their bio says… It’s hard to look away or turn it down when this Washington, DC four-piece plays: their music is full of peculiar tension, relentless energy, and a kind of thoughtful rage indebted to both waking up down the street from the White House & the typical, anonymous frustrations of city living. Priests’ punk prowess rides that perfect line between sounds that are alienated & bizarre, with an undeniable pop-catchiness.
