PRIMITIVE HANDS
"Bad Men In The Grave" LP


 

See mail order section for black vinyl and general more items


Get your ears around this stunner, second album by our beloved canadian troubadour Buck Hildebrand and his basement rats. Running away from life, hiding from starving polar bears, the opener "Only The Bad Remains" settles in to the groove immediately, pack you on a Winnipeg monochrome winter night dog sled ride until almost imperceptibly ratcheting up the intensity towards a cave where they pull off a garage punk mammoth awakeners like "Animal Blood" and "Unseen Love". "Bad Men In The Grave" has resonances of hatred failure and charming turns in dazzling daylight and truly exceeds the Primitive Hands past works. Considering their three singles from a decade ago, these recordings are the most expansive, career spanning release and maybe the first *real* album. This was self recorded by the band, respectively J.Quakenbusch and M.Blackburn.Chiming fuzz-drenched guitar folk songs like wonderful sonorous "The Food´s No Good", "Turkey" and barren "Vivid Storyteller" are the psych-rock preacher counterpart of the blues gospel of BEATMAN, the outlawed COWBOYS rock and roll. Third release on ALIEN SNATCH! after sonic force debut LP in 2017,nearly crashing of its own sheer weight of sonic force and some sticky melodic washes of Berlin streets, which turned into the "Heartless Man" 45 in 2018. Brian Hildebrand plays on the claviature of melancholy and rage in bands like DEMON'S CLAWS, MIND CONTROLS and GENITAL HOSPITAL and toured many times around the globe. Rootsy, black/white ink artwork by Darren Merinuk, printed on reverse side stunning ultra heavy cardboard stock. Third time there is limited edition on golden wax! Meet at the bar.

Brian Hildebrand took some Bowie-style Berlin off days after a DEMONS CLAWS tour in ended of 2017. He spent night after night at Wowsville Bar for teaming up with the local crust. Finally, he got the cream, the matadors and ambassadors of rolling rock - THE BIKES and SLANDER TONGUE for recording new songs for a PRIMITIVE HANDS 7". They left XBerg to a Berlin bunker with a four track tape recorder and they spit out three live ´79 style punk smokers. They re-appeared for one show only at Wowsville, then Brian got deported to Canada. End of season one. The b side songs (Emergency/C.I.A) clock under two minutes and screw thru stone like rough TESTORS or CRIME singles on a portable. The title track is a dark bigfoot paced STOOGES/MC5 - yeah - HEARTRIPPER!
