Description

lsquoHoumlrse of the Doumlgrsquo will be reissued on vinyl for the first time since its original 500 copy limited edition run soldout in 2002 original copies emerge so infrequently that it has effectively become a money canrsquot buy item for fans and collectors.nbsp In the early 2000s, The Eighties Matchbox BLine Disaster emerged with a blackhearted blast of frenetic psychobilly, punk and goth that felt like a closing time punchup between The Birthday Party, The Cramps and The MakeUp. Their lunatic intensity was best captured within their first two albums, 2002rsquos lsquoHoumlrse of the Doumlgrsquo and 2004rsquos lsquoThe Royal Societyrsquo, both of which remain adored as cult classics to this day by a fanbase still addicted by their visceral, riotous noise rock.One of the bandrsquos biggest fans is the film director Edgar Wright, who directed the music video for their song lsquoPsychosis Safarirsquo as he was working on his own cult classic, lsquoShaun of the Deadrsquo. The film even featured lsquoMister Mentalrsquo from lsquoThe Royal Societyrsquo on its soundtrack. Still a fan to this day, Wright has penned the accompanying liner notes that will feature in all physical versions of the reissue. He writesnbspldquoThe aural assault of lsquoCelebrate Your Motherrsquo, lsquoChickenrsquo, lsquoGiant Bonesrsquo, lsquoFishfingersrsquo and, frankly, the whole fucking album, represents the uniquely combustive togetherness of this band who in 2002 existed paradoxically both within and outside the music scene of the dayhellip Behold an album too fast to live, but too young to ever die. The finest 25 minutes of freak energy one can handle.rdquonbsp The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only u00a333 +P&P
