Blowers - Hitman

  


  Blowers are a deliciously rough and ready garage punk band from Melbourne featuring Kit Convict (Kit Convict & Thee Terrible Two/ The Kits/ The Spasms), Andrew Porter (The Bowers/ Cakefight/ Brat Farrar), Shannon Aswell (The Reprobettes/ Juliette Seizure & The Tremor-Dolls) and Pip McMullan (The Exotics/ Wrong Turn). 

  They've just released a no holds barred Self Titled album which boasts 15 of the rawest garage cuts you're likely to hear. It's a bad taste extravaganza from a band who've shared a stage with the likes of  Sore Points, The Cavemen, Salad Boys, Jackson Reid Briggs & The Heaters and Stiff Richards. Happily, as well as being an exercise in sick humour, it's also very catchy. It's tagged as being for fans of Wipers, The Reatards, Wet Ones and The Spits. Personally I'd say it's a mash up of Cavemen style sleaze with some of the "pop" sensibilities of early period Ramones. Definitely a grower that'll stay on your playlist. 

  It's available on poison green vinyl from Spooky Records [Melbourne]  https://www.spookyrecords.com/vinyl.html  & black or doublemint vinyl from Chaputa Records [Portugal] https://www.chaputa.com/store/blowers-s-t-lp/?v=79cba1185463

  This track'll get you bouncing around, it's called Hitman...
