Why they might be annoying:

    The original drummer, Doug Walker, walked out on the band right before one of their first gigs and the show was about to be cancelled until Johnny found their current drummer, Ben Smith.
    Johnny often looks possessed while performing and in most of his publicity photos.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They picked their name to pay tribute to three black revolutionaries, to honor black liberation and to also honor blues ancestry.
    John Sinclair, who was once MC5's manager helped write some of their songs on their self-titled album.
    Their second album, 'Steal Your Soul and Dare Your Spirit to Move' featured many different instruments other than just drums and guitar, opening up the sound a bit.
    Jack White produced their second single and they were also featured on 'Sympathetic Sounds of Detroit,' a compilation that he also produced.
    They're influenced by 60's and 70's British rock and garage rock.
