{"product_id":"stepmother-absurdus-manifestus","title":"Stepmother - Absurdus Manifestus","description":"Spearheaded by legendary underground guitarist, Graham Clise, the trio return with a sharper blade and heavier boot following their 2023 debut, ‘Planet Brutalicon'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChannelling raw rock’n’roll urgency into feral anthems for society’s poor, depraved, and proudly miscreant, ‘\u003ci\u003eAbsurdus Manifestus\u003c\/i\u003e’ heralds the long overdue return of legendary Oz-outliers, Stepmother. Fusing high velocity Motor City proto punk with fuzz, feedback and electric psych, the band draw once more upon the spirit of Blue Cheer, The Pink Fairies, Nervous Eaters, The Damned, to wield hardened punk and nefarious nihilism, to confront the absurdity, violence, and dark comedy of modern existence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first single is ‘New World’. Capturing the band at their most relentless and confrontational as Clise points out: “If this disappointing, hazardous sci-fi reality we live in wasn’t enough of a bludgeoning, here’s yet another boot up the arse with our take on a psych-punk dystopian anthem…” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional tracks further showcase the band’s unhinged range. ‘Slice Of Life’ blurs the fine line between total focus and all-out chaos, an unpolished stomper equally suited to shaking your ass or kicking holes in the wall, depending on your preference. Whereas ‘What’s New?’ is a pub-rock rager packed with unrelenting rudeness and rapid-fire, razor-slashing riffs, delivering hyperactive proto-punk that laughs at the absurdity and pointlessness everything.","brand":"Legless Records","offers":[{"title":"Recycled Colour LP","offer_id":51027153846550,"sku":"RMX-62290","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":51027154206998,"sku":"RMX-62291","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/e4d88a0a4c8f8af586f95adbae2cd276_4f91a637-3d02-478e-aca2-ee39ca61768f.jpg?v=1770994210","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/stepmother-absurdus-manifestus","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
