The Birthday Party - Release The Bats

Sex Horror, Vampire Glory. Release The Bats rumbles and stumbles through a wild night of campy debauchery flailing about on the edge of sanity. This is my least favourite release from the Birthday boys - mainly because it’s the single which got them forever stuck under the inappropriate label of "GOTH". There is just a bit too much dubious desperation to avoid that description if you ask me. Somehow dark but also humorous and totally just hanging in there. Why worry whether this counts as Goth or not? Just let it rip like the cool machine it is...
Ripped from a pristine 7” single to MP3

    FANTASTIC paisà!
    I like a lot this new band named BEECHWOOD, as if J&MC had learned to actually play their instruments... plus a garage vein.
    my link, not my rips of their 2nd and 3rd albums:

      I enjoy my work in local government, it allows me to mainly work from home and in the community, rather than a stuffy office. I was working using my iPad even when I was sick in bed...

      Actually, I've just realised, I don't like Skype
