The Detroit Cobras

The Detroit Cobras are a cover band who specialise in versions of Motown, soul and '50s rock and roll standards, played in the garage rock/punk blues style. In contrast to cover bands that attempt to re-create the original, The Detroit Cobras use material from the past and shape it into fresh, original garage rock versions. The resulting sound is rock & roll roots packed with modern garage rock energy. The Detroit Cobras signed to Sympathy Records and released their first full length album entilted "Mink Rat or Rabbit" in 1998.
