HEAVY MOTHER - This Time Around LP

Highly recommended.

A whole lotta fun - this mostly reminds us of the excellent Retail Simps LP on Total Punk from 2022.

"Featuring Eddie Flowers. Eddie was in the original 1976/1977 Gizmos. These other whipper-snappers? They ain’t that old. The guitar player Mark McWhirter and bassist Zack Worcel (aka Chode) were in a long-running Bloomington RnR band the Cowboys. Mark was also in ABC Gum for a couple years there. And Chode had his own punky trio called the Chud (don’t think they were named after the classic C.H.U.D. flick). On the skins, or drums as you squares call ’em, is Mr. Clarke Joyner. He was in the original Bloomington lineup of Circuit Des Yeux (which I hope translates as Circus Of Y’all) and once blew some sax with Thee Open Sex."

"These guy sound like a 50's band that got frozen in time then thawed out in 2022 n started huffin glue n listened to some Iggy n Stooges n New York Dolls n made this album."
