...especially for clueless kids who think that "Garage Rock" is a new phenomenon and that the Strokes and the White Stripes are edgy. The Mummies started in the late 80's. Most people regarded them as a joke (which they were), with their bandage outfits, unspeakably worthless equipment, their rejection of cds and the heinous sound quality of their recordings. Not to mention their dumb lyrics and middle finger atittude. In other words, the Mummies became the ultimate Punk Rock band. In fact they developed more fans than they would have dreamed only after they had been broken up for years! Musically, they are quite good. Some awesome 60's style fuzz guitar, surfy organ, and thumping bass cranking out killer riff after killer riff. The playing was sloppy and downright bad, but the ideas were kickarse. The production however sounded like some worn out, shoddy, homemade record from the 50's. Really awful! But that's part of the charm. The Mummies wouldn't be the cult underground legend that they are if they didn't do it themselves with the cheapest equipment they could find. If you think Garage Rock is cool, then pick up a Mummies reissue and be blown away by the garageyest Garage band in Rock 'N Roll history.
