THE GRUESOMES
Hey!
Ricochet Sound CD

This CD version of The Gruesomes’ third and final studio LP from 1989
makes all the of the band’s work available on CD. After so many miles
on the road Canada’s best garage/R&B band were starting to ask
‘What Am I Doing This For?’ but didn’t let it show in the quality of
the songs. The likes of ‘Thanks For Nothing’ and ‘Hey!’ are as good as
anything they ever wrote.
The Garbage Pail Kids’ demo, recorded in bassist John Davis’ parents’
basement in ’85 must have sounded as if it came from a different planet
in mid-80s Canada.
