The Groundhogs – Split

Just thought I'd sing the praises of this much overlooked classic slab of English guitar madness by the mainly unknown British blues/psych band the Groundhogs. The Groundhogs were (and possibly still are) a three piece, formed in New Cross, London in 1963. I'm not going to write a whole biography of the band and members, for that go to:

Their album 'Split' is possibly their most well known and in my humble opinion their best. The single 'Cherry Red' is a true lost guitar mayhem, buzzsaw, fuzzbuzz, mania, distorto, gonzo, psych, three piece blues masterpiece. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Happy Birthday to "The Quiet Beatle"

Quiet? I never really got that but then again I wasn't born until 1970 so what do I know. Born incidentally on the same day George Harrison celebrated his 27th. birthday, 25th. February 1970. So here's to you George. As a kind of tribute I've listed my favourite tracks by the great man. Feel free to agree, disagree or add as you please...
