Thee American Revolution's Buddha Electrostorm is an official side project of The Apples in stereo's Robert Schneider.

Lo-fi acid rockers Thee American Revolution began as a home-recording collaboration between Elephant 6 co-founder Robert Schneider (Apples in stereo/Neutral Milk Hotel) and brother-in-law Craig Morris (ex-Ideal Free Distribution), formed to pursue a heavy psych-pop agenda. Joined onstage by a rotating cast of friends and family, Thee American Revolution shreds with chaotic exuberance wherever they appear.

The band's highly anticipated debut album Buddha Electrostorm is built upon slabs of fuzz guitar and reckless troglodyte drumming, soaked in Mellotron seas, bright harmonies and bursts of pure noise. Buddha Electrostorm joyfully explores the terrain between Blue Cheer and the Beatles, with songs ranging from druggy pop to sloppy biker-rock anthems.

Featuring album artwork by W. Cullen Hart (Olivia Tremor Control/Circulatory System) and bearing the classic Elephant 6 Recording Co. logo "something of a rarity in the contemporary musical landscape" this album is certain to turn on fans of garage rock and psychedelic pop.

Do not be afraid of the loud guitars and low fidelity: soon you will be pumping your fists and singing along.
