The triumphant return of Punk Rock Monday

Hang the bunting and cue the fanfare! PRM is back! Or better yet, cue Killdozer!

Circa 1983, "River" and "Ed Gein!"


I was turned on to Killdozer in college by my friend Nathaniel, who let me know that their sludgy, swampy country-blues predated the murk of the Melvins by half a decade. Moreover, their (half-ironic) wallowing in working class anti-intellectualism served to take the edge of any other musical pretensions I might have had - despite the growing experimentalism in their mid-90s work. But I mostly appreciated them for being the quintessential "I'm having a shitty day so fuck you" band to blare out of your room when the mood was right - or wrong, as the case may be.

From 1995, "Knuckles the Dog (Who Helps People)"


And, from 1996, a cover of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl"
