Punch'n'Judy vinyl

Straight out of Mile High City, this garage / indie rock group from Denver were around during the heady days of the Seattle scene and the grunge scene when it was all kicking off and ought to have been one of the biggest bands in the world. They were the first non-Seattle band to sign to Sub Pop, a label who adored them for their thunderous riffs and explosive live shows. Before signing to Sub Pop, they released this album - their debut studio LP, which is a succinct blast to listen to full of raw MC5-esque energy. It's not changing the wheel - or even trying to - but there's something hugely fun in being ill concerned with the idea of originality and just competing with the greatest rock n' roll bands of all time and coming out sounding on par.
