Psychedelic garage rock with a dirty organ taking center stage. Bristol quintet The Bad Joke That Ended Well claw their way through eight tracks within half an hour on their self-titled album. These guys sound dirty as fuck, touching base with 13th Floor Elevators, The Doors and Pere Ubu. Grumbling distortion applied to gut-wrenching blues licks, topped off with hoarse lead vocals, with a surprising light sounding banjo probing through the dark textures.
Put it on after a particularly dull day at work and annoy your neighbours. Keep a bottle of your favorite beverage within reach.
