***Let’s go back. How far back? Back to 2005, in Thessaloniki, Greece. A crew of degenerates called KOMODINA 3 records an album, makes 80 compact disc copies, hand-delivers them to some local kooks and then decide to not drive to their only show because it’s too cold out (They never played live once. No joke). Fast forward to 2012. Slovenly Greek godz Bazooka and Gay Anniversary are touring Europe with Slovenly owner Pete Menchetti in tow, play him a pirated copy of said disc in the van, and that is IT! It is now with dubious enthusiasm that we present this mysterious Greek freek punk rock beater officially, and on wax for the first time ever. What we have here is the disastrous, teeth-grinding missing link between The Penetrators Kings of Basement Rock LP, The Rip Offs uber-classic Got A Record, and whatever other garage punk shit you’re listening to now, like if Wau Y Los Arrrghs were covering the Killed By Death catalog instead of Back From The Grave. Komodina 3 is a budget-rock anomaly recorded in radically separated stereophonic sound. Ridiculous dumpster drums augmented by a childish assortment of cheap shaking devices, cheesy Farfisa Compact organ just the way we like it, guitars that’ll have you reaching for your itch-powder, and juvenile A.D.D. vocals (sung entirely in Greek!) that numb your cerebellum like the earliest Spits recordings.
LP $15.50
