The return of MONOSHOCK's GRADY RUNYAN…

NEW RELEASE!
THE BAD TRIPS
Rocketship Records
RS 0202 LP
Vinyl only, 500 copies, 180 gram, B&W silk-screened jackets.

“I’ve lately been burning up my lonely room courtesy of… four gnarly druids that go by the name (The) Bad Trips… a magnificently Lo-fi Cinemascope instrumental hybrid of early Guru Guru, the Afrika Corps and the Fire Engines (yooz shitting me! I ain’t!), via the C90 meltdown of California’s the Zebra Attack.” – Julian Cope

“Grady ‘n Jeff Grimes is like Mike Bloomfield ‘n Hideki Ishima leadin messrs. Bob Anderson & Gordon Roberts…. through statically charged parallelograms of improvised, psycho-gnarlic char. I just keep listenin to it longer & longer. Frankly, I ain’t heard an lp anything like it this year & don’t expect to.” – Siltblog
