The Goons Mars EP
This is the GOONS’ first studio release in nearly twenty years. I gotta talk about the cover of this lil’ spinner, where we see an astronaut’s boot on the surface of Mars stepping in gum amongst cigarette butts and bottle caps. Does this mean there are punks on Mars, or just litterbugs? The tunes are punk’n’roll ragers in the ZEKE, CANDY SNATCHERS, and NASHVILLE PUSSY vein. In the six minutes it takes you to get through these four songs, two things are going to happen. First, you’ll want to flip the record over and hear them again. Second, you’ll want to flip the record over and hear them again. And on and on, until you get to Mars to start your mission of finding punk Martians or litterbugs or both. Solid release. There are only 500 of these (on Mars red vinyl, no less) so grab this while you can to keep you company on your journey.
