Garage punk gospel is what Toronto's Deadly Snakes delivered on their 2003 record Ode To Joy. The band— broken up since 2006—achieved a sort of delirious rapture on that record: a wild-eyed organ-humming sound that could have been recorded on the wooden pew of an old abandoned church. With songs like "I Want To Die" and "There Goes Your Corpse Again," they were like an equally morbid and charming cousin of Jonathan Fire*Eater: one that read too many comic books, smoked too many cigarettes and was always fidgeting with something on his mind. Deadly Snakes - "Oh My Bride" (from Ode To Joy)
