Cult Classics (Nov’16).

Not a dilly.

“It’s Sunday morning and I feel so low” 

The Picturebooks are a German garage blues-rock duo. Playing together since 2005 they have five long players on the books. The Picturebooks mind of The Kills, The Black Keys or The White Stripes; but with grit. Your Kisses Burn Like Fire is the lead single from the album Imaginary Horse. Punk News called the album “vicious, modern rock and roll” and New Noise Magazine said the song, “oozes sensuality, starting slow and smooth before rising into a roaring climax, that levels off again into a wave of dirty blues rock.”

“Drunk and sunken pride”
