Brazilian Heavy Blues Rockers Hurricanes have just unveiled a blistering live session video, paying tribute to Deep Purple with a ferocious rendition of the instrumental classic “Wring That Neck.”
Captured in an intimate yet high-voltage live setting, the video showcases the band at full throttle, delivering a performance that’s raw, tight, and absolutely incendiary. With a gritty vintage tone and a jam-driven attitude, Hurricanes breathe new fire into one of the most iconic instrumentals from the early Deep Purple catalogue.
Originally released in 1968 on “The Book of Taliesyn,” “Wring That Neck” is a pivotal track in the development of Hard Rock improvisation, and Hurricanes don’t just play it — they own it. Their version stretches the composition’s heavy blues roots into fuzz-drenched territory, enhanced by razor-sharp interplay between guitar, bass and drums. The band’s chemistry is palpable and the energy is explosive throughout the entire session.
Hailing from Brazil’s fertile underground blues rock scene, Hurricanes have been steadily carving a reputation for their no-frills, high-octane sound — rooted in Classic Rock tradition, but executed with modern grit and stage-born authenticity. This live take feels less like a nostalgic tribute and more like a full-bodied celebration of the power quartet format at its best.
If you thought you knew “Wring That Neck,” think again. This is Hurricanes letting loose, and the result is pure Rock electricity.
