Groundhogs – Thank Christ For The Bomb CD Released 31/01/20

Description

Celebrating its 50th Anniversary, Thank Christ For The Bomb is released with bonus tracks on CD. A hugely influential album cited as the embryo for punk, grunge and beyond. Featuring epic 1970 concepts from this far reaching trio much praised by Underworlds Karl Hyde, Captain Sensible, Stephen Malkmus and a host of others. Thank Christ For The Bomb is a visionary tale of cold war fear, alienation and everyday drama. A thinking mans rumination on alienation, the album is a game of two halves; side one tackling the thermo nuclear threat while side two traces riches to rags alienation in everyday London. First of a trio of ground-breaking albums that steered the band from the Blues into a heavier, more prog-based sound and a true reflection of their much-praised live sound. Also featuring Radio 1 sessions and live versions of key tracks including a lengthy take of Soldier recorded for the BBCs In Concert series.
