THE PHANTOM BAND Checkmate Savage (2009 UK 9-track CD album - 'Checkmate Savage' is the highly tipped and anticipated debut album by The Phantom Band, and is to considered to be where Captain Beefheart meets Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, where Neu! meets Nick Cave; and brings to mind the beat savvy of The Beta Band, the other-worldliness of Super Furry Animals and the mood of Hallowed Ground-era Violent Femmes.)
