The Gories – Bug House Waterbug And Roach Traps (Yellow vinyl)

Reissue, limited to 500 copies on yellow vinyl, of this fantastic 7″ single by Detroit garage-rock cult favorite trio! Recorded in 1989, this 7″ EP originally came out circa 1995, well after the Gories had called it a day, and it was one of those, “Damn, how did this one not come out already?!” First, ‘You Little Nothin” winds out like a spooky traipse through some junkyard right next to a two-lane road right next to a graveyard somewhere right outside the Detroit metro area. You can almost see headlights flash by every few seconds, while Danny does one of his best spurned-teen vocals. Then Mick Diddleys around with a jittery bash through Johnny Otis’ ‘Casting My Spell,’ one of the Gories wildest covers, and that’s saying something! Then things really kick into gear on ‘Charm Bag,’ as perfect a distillation of the Gories’ raison d’e-trash as you’ll find, the whole trio smashing and yalping away.
