Texan Psychobilly Meat Grinder Punk Is Uncalled 4
I was introduced to The Uncalled 4 through volume 8.5 of my favorite series of DIY obscure punk records, the Killed By Death compilations. Never before had cannibalism sounded as sweet as the first time I heard the 1979 single "Grind Her Up," off Tiger Tail Records. This is pure Texan psychobilly at its' distorted, cockeyed, gnarly best.
A ode to serial killer Ed Gein, The Uncalled 4 describe "Grind Her Up" as having "disemboweled rhythms with a lead guitar that cuts like a dull knife, and a singer who's experience as a cattle auctioneer (no kidding) up in Rhome, Texas really paid off." I'm sure the Ed "Psycho" Gein would have been proud.
An LP version of Killed By Death Volume 8.5 can be copped at Ebay right now if you act fast!
