Cosmic Psychos - I Really Like Beer (Colored Vinyl, Yellow, 140 Gram Vinyl, Indie Exclusive)

You won't believe it! Cosmic Psychos return with astonishing confession: "I Really Like Beer"! 40 years+ of stupid, clever punk rock continue with a brand-new concept album about beer, although every earlier album released by these guys has been kinda concept album about drinking at least too. The beer fathers of Aussie punk sounding like the Ramones fronted by Crocodile Hunter, they write songs in a distinctly down under manner about drinking, fighting, roadkill and punching above your weight. The lads bludgeoning take on punk has proven durable, influencing everyone from L7 and The Meanies to The Chats and Amyl & The Sniffers. The noisy punk trio was originally formed by Bill Walsh, Peter Jones and Ross Knight around Melbourne, ca. 1985. Robbie Watts replaced Jones on guitar in 1990/91, and after a hiatus, 2005 the Psychos went to the studio to record a new album with new drummer Dean Muller (ex-Voodoo Lust) replacing Bill Walsh. After the shock of the tragic loss of Robbie Watts in 2006, it was an option to drop the brand "Cosmic Psychos". But Knight was overwhelmed by the grief and support of the fans, so he decided, with full support from Robbie's kids, that "There's more beer to be drunk!". John McKeering (from The Onyas) had already been friend of the band for quite some time, and in late 2006 he was chosen to play guitar with Knight & Muller from that point on. With a legendary debut EP, a dozen studio albums, a handful of live ones too, plus a sanctioned fan-made documentary under their belt, the blokes you can trust still deliver straightforward, lager-soaked punk rock on album #13. For fans of Celibate Rifles, Radio Birdman, early Saints, mid-period Ramones, Hard-Ons, C.O.F.F.I.N., Stiff Richards, Alternative, Punk Rock, Rock... CD (jewel case) and black or colored LP available!
