Rocket From The Tombs

Yes Tombs not Crypt!

I was drinking heavily last night so as per usual I threw this motherfucker on:

This album is amazing and underated. A friend turned me onto them when I was obssessed by the Dead Boys. This band was in my opinion THE protopunk band of the 70s! The reformed not to long ago for some shows anyone check it out? I dunno about reunion shows but this one might've been cool.
There was a better link to their history that I can't find but I'll post it when I do till then..... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_From_The_Tombs)

Ever put on a album and wish you did it first? This is mine cause it pisses over a bunch of my favorite bands cause it did it better.

i always felt that rocket from the crypt was more of a homage to rocket from the Tombs
