Guns’n’Wankers – POP EP (Rugger Bugger Dump 020, 1994)

This is so sweet, this is a perfect summer cheer-up! And, record collectors unite, it came as a 3 EP Set (“Pop”, “Metal” and “Hardcore”) although in debateable packaging (but those acustomed to Snuff’s output just nodd that off).

Verdict:

1977 – Yes, sure. Direct link to PowerPop!
published by a cool lable – Rugger Bugger was home for some awsome stuff from UK!
found in a cool shop – ticked, again Martin Stehr’s Drugstore
catching sound – Guitarwork seldom done that smart and catchy, catchy, catchy!
not too bad words – as with Snuff, obscure and hard to read from the lyric sheet.

It seems to be a lovestory though so right on track:

Julie stands beside the window
Head full of additive
Sophie wants an explanation
Julie says she's none to give

Julie's got some time
But she's not taking much more
Just a little bit
More than she bargained for

Sophie's in two minds,
She's busy making it four
Ask a simple question
The answers might just follow on

So she asks about her lover
Tiny kicks internally
Julie talks of aspirations
Hiding from reality

You don't get the picture
I have to level with you
Should have left it was

You thought the grass was greener
But your imagination lied
It was just a dream
And your dreams don't count
When the real world comes around

(c) Guns'n'Wankers

Guns’n’Wankers were a interim something driven by Duncan Redmonds when Snuff disbanded for the first time in 1991 – as with many bands someone should have made them BIG, even against their own wishes. They deserved it!

See them live and loud here:
