Electric Prawns 2 Heavy Shitters cassette

Insanely catchy collection of garage punk tunes from Australia that was almost scrapped by the band? Folks, why? It’s so good. If you like JAY REATARD or TEE VEE REPAIRMANN, give it a listen and soak in the rock’n’roll grit, the near-bubblegum vocals on tracks like “Mine Tonight” (“Make you mine toooo-niiiiiighttt”), and the old school keys that bubble up like ? AND THE MYSTERIANS playing with the SPITS. Hooks hooking into more hooks on every song had me writing one word next to each song while listening: classic. Like the song “Borned to Rock,” ELECTRIC PRAWNS 2 were in fact borned to rock.
