The Mono Men - Burning Bush b/w Rat Fink/Don't Tread on Me (Estrus, 1989) (Estrus Records reissue, 1995)


Let's go today with the (reissue of the) 7" debut of one of the most beloved and important bands of American rock & roll underground scene: the almighty Mono Men! Not exactly a garage band, their music is a crude rock and roll soaked in garage revival love, drenched in punk attitude and seasoned with early-nineties alt-rock rawness. Their debut single "Burning Bush" b/w "Rat Fink" (1989) is a terrific, mythical record; two songs which are the perfect example of what I tried to describe to you. This is the 1995 reissue made by Estrus Records, which also released the original reference. That means we can enjoy one extra track on side B, spliced to the Nomads' "Rat Fink": "Don't Tread on Me".
