Cemetary
(Og Music) Used LP $20.00
Vocalist / guitarist Gerard Van Herk and the minimal drumming of Tony Dewald birthed the Montreal duo’s manic rootsy sound, dubbed “sludgebilly.” Whole lotta monsters, food, alienation, love, and death, plus covers of Wire’s “Strange”and Merle Travis’s “16 Tons.”
The Worst Of Deja Voodoo
(Og Music) Used LP $30.00
Rarities, 45s, compilation tracks, and many highlights: two five-second homages to Scandinavian hardcore; a trilogy of sludgified covers; the opening track “Monsters in My Garage,” with its Cramps-like mélange of distortion and humor; and “Raised By Wolves,” in which Gerard Van Herk details how he learned to howl properly.
