Thee Syck Bubblegum Introducing…Thee Syck Bubblegum cassette
Both of the band’s first two demos on one singular cassette, self-released on one of the members’ Floating Skull label. THEE SYCK BUBBLEGUM scratches a lot of damn itches for me. Eight songs of lo-fi, noisy, nasty garage punk, but like the DEAD MOON kinda garage punk. But also if DEAD MOON was a bit less palatable to the masses and had an unhinged-sounding vocalist shrieking about ghosts and werewolves and hauntings. Wait, is that just describing DEAD MOON? Hmm…it’s really just nasty, driving, gross rock’n’roll, and I can’t help but be a sucker for such things. If these eight tracks aren’t enough for you, dig through the wild mess that is the guitarist/madman vocalist Waylon Thornton’s other recorded output. It’s a bit more out-there and psychedelic, but there’s some disturbing moments of brilliance.
