This is a pretty obscure one for sure, info on these guys is limited to the sleeve of the single. With names like Carr, Crowbar Eddie, Evans, and Ward its hard to figure out exactly who these guys were. What we do now for sure is that this single jam's. My friend Professor Black was kind enough to turn me on to this several months and recently my band even covered it. The first track "The Mugger" is standard AC/DC rock rip off type territory but SHOCK TREATMENT really make it there own. This is good and violent in the lyrics department and the solo's are blazing. The nasty vocals here are what really make it for me, this guys throat in full of gravel and whisky, just plain killer. Next is "Nuclear warfare", a death marching anti-nuclear warfare apocalyptic classic. I'm sure these dudes were digging some Mad Max. This is great shit, get it, turn it up and start killing your neighbors.
SOMEWHERE IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT!
