Back In the day, 1991
The Monsters
The Hunch
(Voodoo Rhythm Records)
Stitched in 1986, these unnerving Swiss monstrosities turned the same soil as NYC lurchers the Cramps. Their trashy offerings were of insistent and fuzz-filled personality. Horror tropes common to cursed drive-ins lurked in assaults that reeked of 1950s swagger and 1960s Garage Punk. Also casting its shadow was primitive, burgeoning Psychobilly so blunt as to bash skulls bloody.
The Hunch was the second of seven Monsters LPs. Initially issued on green vinyl, it was rereleased as a CD in 2013.
Recommended: "The Creature From the Black Lagoon," "Hang On," "Sex Wax," "Drug Train," "Day Of the Triffids," "Drag Is Back," "Wicked Wanda," "Teenage Werewolf," "The Kinks," "Psycho Over Europe"
