Description

2024 press on orange and black rotor coloured vinyl

2008 recording, the seventh and final studio album from the Swedish rockers, appropriately titled Head Off. The album features a little sonic taste from every phase of The Hellacopters musical past, from the feed-backed and hum-bucked mayhem found on 1996s Grammy winning Super Shitty To The Max! to the refined songwriting and production found on their last studio album Rock & Roll Is Dead. The songs on Head Off come from the pens of the Hellacopters’ friends, labelmates, tour partners and other contemporaries, shining a light on some lesser known acts in the international garage rock underground like Australia’s Asteroid B-612, L.A.’s Humpers and several of the other bands on Stockholm’s local scene as the Hellacopters themselves were just starting out. Somewhat better known acts like the Bellrays, the Gaza Strippers and the New Bomb Turks are also represented. Sayonara, my brothers in Rock!
