Description
Get the Gore's innocent and insolent sound finds both the gum-snapping punk of the Ronettes and the sweet and dirty romance of the Stooges... It's brash, cute and killer. "This is a 38-minute, mini-masterpiece of garage-punk bravado that allows the heady sound of the Gore Gore Girls to not so gently bleed into your ears. Once heard, never to be forgotten."
Description
Bloodshot brings the Motor-City girlrage-rock classic back in an enhanced Barrel Select edition, approved by Amy Gore. . Born by the pale blue glow of "Hullabaloo," lullabied by the River Rouge Stamping Plant and honed to a shiv point by midnight B-movies, Detroit's Gore Gore Girls' come-hither sneer draws a sonic line (in thick, black eyeliner, babies) from the Girl Group ground zero of the Brill Building to the legendary punk Mecca of the Grande Ballroom.
Amy, guitarist, vocalist and the Gore to the fore, formed the Girls out of an uncontrollable and perhaps unhealthy fascination with the style and sass of classic '60s girl groups and the convulsing sonic energy of an industrial American city disintegrating. Being a fellow member of the Sisterhood of the Gretsch, Marlene (fondly referred to as The Hammer--listen up and you'll hear why) signed on soon thereafter on the lead guitar. Bassist Carol Anne Schumacher (who also finds time to play in The Detroit Cobras and Reigning Sound) and drummer Nicky Styxx round out the Gore lineup on the album.
Bloodshot has deemed Get The Gore worthy of the Barrel Select brand, recognizing it as one of the most potent picks in our cask-strength catalog. Resurrected and repressed on bloodshot-red vinyl, the Barrel Select edition also includes a printed inner-sleeve with full lyrics and memorabilia provided by Amy Gore herself.
