1972's Speech: Steamhammer's Incredible Swan Song

1972's Speech: Steamhammer's Incredible Swan Song16 Apr1 h 23 min

EPYSODE 79: Speech by Steamhammer.

Guest: Louis Cennamo.

Additional commentary by the Psychedelic Wizard, Uncle Herff.

This week we delve into 1972's Speech, the final album by Steamhammer. A masterful blend of blues-rock, progressive textures, and psychedelic experimentation. Speech showcases the band at a creative peak during an adventurous time in British rock.

With help from bassist Louis Cennamo, we learn how he achieved that unique sound never before heard.

And get a load of this: with Louis' blessing, we were able to include snippets of a couple tracks from the "lost" Steamhammer album, Axis, the album recorded after Speech that has never been released.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Steamhammer, this epysode offers a deep dive into one of the most underrated British rock albums of the decade.

I hope you dig Speech as much as I do.
