The Warlocks are the Los Angeles basesd long running project of Bobby Hecksher, who is the only constant member. The Warlocks sound is a heady psychadelic and murky mix. The fact that the band took it's name from early incarnations of the Velvet Underground and the Grateful Dead should give you a good hint as to the sound. Contemporary comparisons would include such bands as the Black Angels, Dead Meadow and the Jagjaguwar stable of artists.
Unlike previous albums, The Chain is a concept album. The story tells the tale of a pair star-crossed lovers who commit a bank heist together.
Plans for a June tour have been announced, but no concrete dates.
