After a couple of split releases and contributions to compilations here
it is, the debut album of the Zatopeks! 14 tunes packed to the rafters
with pop hooks, lyrical wit and the full on punk energy these guys radiate
at their live shows. It's like a cocktail of 50's pop and 90's Lookout!
punkrock mixed by Tom Waits, and you're gonna love it's taste!
With stuff
like a little country ballad (Jenny Kissed Me), a sobbing hammond organ
(Turn To Gold Blues), a love song for an executed member of the White
Rose resistance group (Sophie Scholl) and boomboxing (Mary Lou) the Zatopeks
set themselves apart from any pop punk band out there.
These fine
English gentlemen had already proven to be an amazing liveband (if you
haven't seen them: they're like a carcrash, it isn't a pretty sight but
you just have to watch) and now they've come up with one of the best European
poppunk records ever made, the Zatopeks are one of punkrock's best contemporary
bands.
Factoids:
-The Zatopeks like their PG Tips cuppa tea with a splash of milk
-Word is going 'round the Zatopeks are Dr. Frank's Shiny Robot Monkeys
-The Zatopeks stole 3 flags from the roof of a Mc Donald's restaurant
in Rotterdam
