The creators and key advocates of their own genre -- super rock -- the Fleshtones have been one of America's greatest rock & roll showbands in a career that began in 1976. While they were often lumped in with the garage rock revival movement, their formula was significantly more complex than their peers. Garage sounds of the '60s were certainly a major influence, but so were rhythm & blues, soul, hard rock, psychedelic, and even disco. The band play rock & roll suitable for energetic parties and frenetic dancing, with strong, elemental tunes, musical instrumental work, witty lyrics, and the charismatic vocal style of frontman Peter Zaremba.
