STOCKING HEADS – Self Titled EP (1983)



The Stocking Heads came to being in Southern, CA in the early 80’s. This odd looking trio plays some highly energetic simple synth tunes. There’s a quirky novelty in their delivery and lyrical content, which is well executed with jerky uptight rhythms. I wonder if they did any live shows… They blow through these four songs with quite the energetic flair. Although condensed, this obscurity is an entertaining listen! Think Devo on crack… Out of print private pressing via Roadside Records, Inc …Enjoy…

  1. song a minute - nice bass line, funny lyric message.
    lose control - spastic, experimental, definitely devo on crack.
    guru blues - not my favorite, hardly anything blues about it.
    super shear - the vocals are so bad, yet the guitar does cool little tricks.

    Burst of energy. I like. Awesome blog by the way. Imma gonna have to stick around for a while if you don't mind.
