TWIST AND BURN! - VOLUME 3

This compilation is a companion piece to two similar comps that I put up on my old DETAILED TWANG blog - #1 is here, #2 is here – and also a compliment to my review of Eric Davidson’s “WE NEVER LEARN” book that I posted a couple of weeks ago. In fact it was reading that book that gave me the proverbial gumption to roast & rip this thing for you. There is just so much garage punk treasure from this era that it’d be a shame to just have it sit in boxes at my house, and yeah, most of it’s totally out of print and lost to time. This compilation contains such savers of civilization as THE CHEATER SLICKS (cover heroes), THE GORIES, SUPERCHARGER, THE NIGHTS AND DAYS and CLAW HAMMER, each captured in the rose-colored bloom of their snarling youth.

All tracks are circa 1990-1993; all come from 45s. Every track rules, and you can quote me on that. (Except maybe for the Blues Explosion stuff, which did not date well). If you want to make a CD out of this, it all fits.
