The Groundhogs – Thank Christ for the Bomb (Standard Edition)50th Anniversary reissue with Gatefold sleeve + Bonus tracks as a Download. A hugely influential album cited as the embryo for punk, grunge and beyond. Featuring epic 1970 concepts from this far reaching trio much praised by Underworlds Karl Hyde, Captain Sensible, Stephen Malkmus and a host of others. Thank Christ For The Bomb is a visionary tale of cold war fear, alienation and everyday drama. This is a masterpiece! New Musical Express A thinking

much like early Felt songs or the spiritual visions of Van Morrison

and possessed of an almost shamanic intensity

The result is a unique piece of truly meditative music

taken from the name of a vast open cut mine in the middle of Australia

to be able to play percussion and do a lot of harmonies and also to produce and mix the album

championed by pioneering producers like Hamilton Nzimande in South Africa since the '60s

but the irony is that Jessica and I have each other

as well as the Apollo astronauts sharing their recollections of the momentous events surrounding it

an album cut at some point in the 70s and which remained in the vaults

but with a darker twist and a pervasive air of melancholy

Brave Enough 4

Recorded almost entirely in Aljezur
