Now here's a song that went down a storm when I played it on last week's Just Some Punk Songs show. It's by a new trio called Da Groins (https://www.facebook.com/Da-Groins-103709492234024) who claim to play "sloppy garage shit" on cheap and broken instruments. Their line up is Jim Groin (guitar/vocals), Matt Groin (drums) & Zero Groin (bass/vocals).
I'm assuming all three members are genre veterans and I feel I should know all their identities but the only obvious one is the ubiquitous James Domestic who's vocals seem to grace a different project every other week (for example this year so far he's turned up in Botched Toe & Tokyo Lungs and is preparing to release his debut solo album Carrion Repeating).
The Da Groins debut ep is titled 100% Groin and it boasts 4 invigorating tracks of budget garage punk fun that the press release says is for fans of bands such as The Hives, The White Stripes, Thee Headcoats, The Mummies & Armitage Shanks. It's scrappy but catchy as hell. It's out on 7" vinyl as a joint release involving Kibou Records (UK), Amok Records (Germany), No Front Teeth Records (UK) and Serial Bowl Records (UK).

This is the lead track, it reminds me somewhat of City Hobgoblins era fall with it's cool as fuck manic garage guitar stylings. It's called The General Pub(l)ic...
tis a good un.
