Psychosurgeons - Horizontal Action b/w Wild Weekend (1978) (Crypt Records reissue, 2012)


Let's start this Club well. The Psycho-Surgeons or just Psychosurgeons were a seminal band of the Australian punk'n'roll scene. They were Radio Birmand's partners in crime, and as a lot of legendary bands their musical legacy were quite little, as little as one 7". "Horizontal Action" b/w "Wild Weekend" was released by the local label Wallaby Beat. Two punk rock kicks influenced by Stooges, of course, but also by the weird punk of NY. I can even taste a subtle flavor of power pop. The mates of Crypt Records reissued this fuckin' milestone last year, with an entirely new artwork and meaty liner notes. Now you have no excuse to not know them.
