UAWIL #40: The Cult - Sonic Temple
from The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast · host Mac B.
The Cult had been marketed as a gothic or post punk band in the mid-80s & made a statement with the albums Love and Electric. But 1989's Sonic Temple raised their game and sales to whole new level thanks to producer Bob Rock and some killer riffs from Billy Duffy. Ian Astbury's spiritual lyrics mixed with raucous guitars made Fire Woman a huge hit. More than 30 years later, it's still their biggest & an alltime favorite of Action Jackson.
