La Muerte Surrealist Mystery 12″ / And the Mystery Goes On 12″

Both of these EP’s are fairly crazed post-punk meets ’60s junk meets NAKED RAYGUN meets BUTTHOLE SURFERS meets BIRTHDAY PARTY etc., etc. I made the mistake of playing one record at 45 RPM instead of 33, and it sounded even better. Incredible production doesn’t hurt a bit either. Find these.

La Muerte Peep Show 12″

Back again quickly, these crypto-rockers hit with four songs, three of which are bizarro blues, twisted Á  la BUTTHOLES. The fourth song is a cover of PINK FLOYD’s “Lucifer Sam,” an OK version.

Melody Massacre Screamin’ in Vain 12″

Okay CRAMPS-type psychobilly. Nothing new, but decently don’t. Not much else to say — oh yea, six songs.
