The Fuckin' Flyin' A-Heads


Swiss Cheese Back 7'' (1980)

From Volcanic tongue:
30th anniversary repro reissue of this legendary punk/DIY/weirdo/destructo American underground side that combines almost Rallizes-scale fuzz and confusion with the lurid basement ethos of Mike Rep, Bruce Cole, The Electric Eels et al. The sound is massively dislocated with the rhythm section broadcasting from a warehouse next door, totally wailing acid guitar leads, a fevered echoed vocal that has shades of Alan Vega and Iggy Pop and a devolved, free-form approach to structure that ends with everyone soloing at once. Classic avant garage scorch with a heavy psych edge. Orginally released in 1980, straight out of Hawaii, what the fuck were they thinking?
