***“Originally released way back in 1987 on the esteemed Au-Go-Go label, this was the debut release from a precocious teenage fourpiece from melbourne, GOD; My Pal simply straddles the postpunk Husker Du / Squirrel Bait buzz and predates the leaden foot of grunge with some wah drenched fuzz fury laden pop, yes pop, with simple hooks, and a huge chip of Australian rock action on its shoulder. Big words you think? It’s a big single.....b/side is the track "Chockablock Rock and Roll". Members of God went on to form /play in: HOSS, POWDER MONKEYS, BORED, YESMEN, PATTERSONS CURSE, TEX PERKIN’S DARK HORSE, TENDRILS, etc. Words like ‘EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THESE’ kind of work with a record like this!” Edition of 1,000 copies. UK import.
