New Bomb Turks

Berühren Meiner Affe

Overcoat

A 1997 EP of fast punk rock, as one would expect from the New Bomb Turks. Got a story about them, I do: Saw ‘em at Maxwell’s in New Jersey years ago. I guess I was the only one who’d ever heard of them, because I was the only one slamming! Had I not been so into their sound, I’d have been embarrassed…

Of note: Boba Fett plays piano on “Slung Jury.” Three other songs, “File Under: Defiled,” “Double Marlon,” and “Spanish Rose.” Always of interest to those who like punk rock.

Overcoat Recordings, 3831 N Christiana, Chicago, IL 60618
