Destroy All Monsters / Destroy All Monsters
(Vinyl LP – Trading Places)
Destroy All Monsters were a very influential band from Detroit, USA. From 1973 to 1985 they played anti-conformist music with a noisy and arty mix of psychedelic rock & proto punk. The band is known due to involvement of members of MC5 and The Stooges. They described their music as “anti-rock.” Destroy All Monsters never found mainstream success, but earned some notoriety due to members of notable rock groups The Stooges and MC5 who joined the group. Although Destroy All Monsters never recorded a proper album, Sonic Youth singer/guitarist Thurston Moore released a three compact disc compilation of the group’s music in 1994. This vinyl compile the Ron Asheton era of the band, three singles from 1978 & 1979, the catchiest, the rockiest tunes they did!
Stack Waddy / Bugger Off!
(Vinyl LP – Trading Places)
‘Bugger Off!’ picked up where its predecessor left off, and rampaged on from there. Covers of Zappa’s ‘Willy The Pimp’ and The Kinks’ ‘You Really Got Me’ might have seemed a little obvious, but both are battered down with such a glorious lack of finesse that it’s impossible to object – anybody familiar with, respectively, Juicy Lucy and the Hammersmith Gorillas’ versions of the same songs will come in with at least a vague idea of what to expect, but that’s about it.
