Flying Heads Flying Heads LP
Tell any punk who grew up in Chicagoland that FLYING HEADS feature members from TV SLIME, and they’re going to jump at it immediately. Incredible noise/crust punk that brings to mind some of the best to do it, like ELECTRO HIPPIES and DOOM. There’s also a sludge element much like MELVINS and KILSLUG. This is one of those records where you have no other choice but to listen to it loud as hell—it imposes that upon itself. If you’re not blasting this into your eardrums, then you ain’t living, friend. Chicago is known for an array of different punk-adjacent genres, but this sloppy, raucous rock’n’roll feels most at home to me. This pairs perfectly with an Old Style and a shot of Malort.
