FIREWORKS - Lit Up LP

Highly recommended.

During the '90s, NYC/Texas-based Fireworks delivered some of the most brutally loud and distorted swamp-noise psychobilly. They were led by Darin Lin Wood, who was involved with Black Snakes and Blacktop. After releasing their debut album on cult label Crypt Records, Fireworks recorded and released a second album where they further developed their sound, going further to what seemed to be unreachable levels of swampy trash feedback.

This album, released now for the first time on vinyl, makes you feel like Pussy Galore are covering The Scientists and The Cramps on a psycho bad trip of metallic, rusted scrap.

Nihilistic garage punk. Reminding of a meaner Gories. Though they get experimental with strange effects on "She Ranks Me" and the dreamy Bebop Kid, a Suicide cover.
