About the Artist
Thanks to appearances on comps like Back From The Grave and Burghers, most garage punk fans are familiar with the Swamp Rats music. Hailing from McKeesport, Pennsylvania, the Swamp Rats cut some of the crudest, most inspiring 60s punk ever during their brief existence. They covered the Sonics on Psycho taking the song to new heights of wildness but they also had an equally inspiring soft side, with its brightest moment on the fantastic cover of the Beatles Here There and Everywhere. Their story has always seemed obscure... Til now. Get Hip Archive Series has spent years researching music, press and tracking down all people involved in the band and is proud to present, finally, the Swamp Rats ultimate retrospective Album. A killer release that will quickly become a 60s Garage classic.
Product Description
The wicked torrent of fuzzed-out mayhem these Steel City hooligans burned onto their '66 and '67 single sides is legendary, from a raunchy "Louie Louie" that drinks the Kingsmen under the table, to the head-smash of "Psycho," to the gunpowdered cover of the Sparkles' "No Friend of Mine." But you get not only all the singles on this first-ever proper reissue of their material, but four bona-fide killers from the vaults, including an original muscle-car fuzz romp called "Hey Freak"; an extended version of "Tobacco Road" that's a shotgun wedding of Nashville Teens R&B hedonism and Blues Magoos Bronx bombshells; a fine bluesy original called "I'm Going Home"; and a spiffy cover of the nks' "She's Got Everything." With the band members telling their story for the first time in the extensive liners, unseen photos galore, and crisp sound, this is a must-have reissue for 60s lovers.
