Three fifths of this EP have already trickled out very slowly in the form of demos and digital singles. Finally, we can witness the thing in full now. I’d say the Nashville outfit have found their own unique little niche inside a crowded pool of egg-related weirdness, their jangly garage punk detonations shrunken to microscopic scale… a bit like a super-muted incarnation of R.M.F.C. with additional hints of Print Head, Neo Neos or early Erik Nervous.

Always a nice thing to have in your house these ghoulies… The Perth group’s newest EP might be their most catchy and upbeat batch of tunes so far and should please the discerning connoisseur of garage-/synth/eggpunk phenomena in the vicinity of, say, Research Reactor Corp, Cherry Cheeks, Alien Nosejob, Satanic Togas… just to name a few.

More insanity to make your brain hurt from that certain Leipzig garage-/synth punk outfit fucking around, as the name would suggest, only in the eggiest corners of eggdom. Full of hooks and catchy most of the time, weird as fuck all of the time. Friends of shit á la Nuts, Set-Top Box, Metdog, Nubot555 and Dee Bee Rich are gonna have another ball with this.

Debut tape of a Perth duo featuring folks otherwise known from Ghoulies and Aborted Tortoise… just as you’d expect from that, this thing fucking rips! A Lo-Fi DIY garage punk vibe meets some oldschool melodious ’77 simplicity, occasionally also crossing over into rather contemporary sounding post punk- and egg-related territories. This is out on Goodbye Boozy and Under The Gun Records but this shit would also fit right in with the Warttman posse so it’s probably no coincidence that some dude also involved with Tee Vee Repairman and Satanic Togas contributed some creative input here as well.

More incredibly bonkers shit out of the belgian Belly Button Records orbit. What we get on this dude’s debut EP under the Nubot555 moniker (previously the culprit has been doing shit as King Dick) is some garage- and electro punk mayhem of the overwhelmingly egg-ish variety. These lo-fi gems manage to counterbalance all their quirky weirdnes with plenty of smarts and creative energy, making for an impressive debut easily standing out even in its fairly crowded genre pool. I’d say Egg Idiot have found their match here.

A nice little battery of vaguely egg-ish garage punk and fuzz pop combining more recent weirdness à la Print Head or Freak Genes with a good measure of Desperate Bicycles, some early Flying Nun Records vibes – especially The Clean and The Stones – a touch of C86 pop (as in Cowboys Aren’t Real) or also: loads of random 80s cassette culture artifacts that might or might not have cropped up on some Messthetics/Homework/Hyped To Death compilation over the years.

Another Print Head release means another perfect storm of weird-ass excentric, chaotic but often unexpectedly melodious garage- and post punk shit, this time around coming across like an odd mixture of contemporary groups of the vaguely egg-related variety with the sluggish grooves of the UV Race and old british Acts like Swell Maps, early Mekons.

…and here’s yet another short and sweet artifact of vaguely egg-related garage punk by some NJ person. This shit plays out like a mix of Alien Nosejob in HC 7″ mode, S.B.F. and Connie Voltaire’s hardcore-focussed projects. Also, good call transforming two slow, boring tracks into exciting, fast tracks through the wonders of cutting edge pitch adjustment technology.

Yay! New shit by that person or group who might or might not be based in Hicksville, NY and whose 2020 garage-/post-/eggpunk borderline-masterpiece Happyhappy made me exactly that. So now we get a new short playing Hi-Fi experience as well as some other, slightly less short and ever-so-slightly less Hi-Fi thing. Boring this certainly ain’t and as for that other thing… i think i have some basic idea what they don’t think they know the fuck they’re doing and they’re doing it just fine and it’s fucking glorious and i love every fucking second of it!

In a week already pretty heavy on egg-related releases, all that’s left for me to say about this debut EP is that the good egghead gospel seems to have reached the righteous people of Chile at last and that fact alone fills my heart with so much joy – of course also helped by this being such a fun little record.
