Cheap Nasties-s/t LP
2018-HoZac Archival
Absolutely killer early Australian snot punk. I can't believe in 2018 people are still digging up amazing, unheard material like this. Pressing of 500 copies.
From the label:
We’ve reached our 200th
release here at HoZac, and we couldn’t be more excited for this archival LP, a
real dream come true for us devoted fans of 70s Australian Punk. The Cheap
Nasties emerged from Perth, Australia in late 1976, “the most isolated city in
the world,” with only a vague notion of the actualized punk format, from what
founding member Kim Salmon had read in copies of NME magazine, and purity of
heart. Combined with high school friends Neil Fernandes, Dan Dare, Mark Betts,
and Robbie Poritt, the band emerged and for a few months, took hold of the punk
market in Perth
and shook it for all it’s life. Luckily their sole 1977 demo has survived, and
we’ve got it here for you, finally in the LP format, the way God intended, for
the first time anywhere. Ten songs of blistering teenage slime, screaming
guitars screech in & out of the chorus, drums bash relentlessly, and that
special Australian something you can’t ever put your finger on. It’s trashy,
raw, and brutal punk slop at it’s finest, fitting in perfectly with the noisy
aesthetic of the legendary Australian bands such as News, Babeez, Leftovers,
Victims, and Psycho-Surgeons on the Murder Punk compilation series, and less
like the early Scientists or Manikins, both of which sprung from the ashes of
the Cheap Nasties.
Kim Salmon temporarily joined the Invaders, and then joined up with James Baker
from the Victims to form the first lineup of the Scientists, and the other four
Nasties filled out the original Manikins lineup, and both were off to make even
more exciting records (find them all). The similarities pretty much end there,
and even though this DIY studio recording is so much earlier, you can hear the
chord similarities in “Stolen Property” that would later casually reappear in
the Scientists’ “Pissed On Another Planet,” such raw phenomenal stuff. But
remember, this isn’t for the weak or the elderly, and it’s definitely not for
audiophiles, but it will now sit alongside Johnny Dole & the Scabs LP as
one of the only other posthumously-released 1977 punk albums from Australia,
now joining The Saints ‘I’m Stranded,’ and Radio Birdman’s ‘Radios Appear’
albums in OZ punk history.. - Victim of Time
