A cornerstone of the ‘80s garage punk revival, The Mirror Cracked by The Gravedigger V is a snarling, fuzz-drenched tribute to ‘60s teenbeat chaos-loaded with reverb-soaked sound, gritty vocals, and raw, primitive swagger. Originally released in 1984 on Voxx (a Bomp! Records imprint), the album became a cult favourite for garage heads and punk purists alike. Now reissued on vinyl for the first time since 1987, to celebrate Bomp! 50th anniversary, this edition includes an exclusive insert featuring new liner notes by founding guitarist John Hanrattie, shedding light on the band’s brief but blazing existence. Essential for fans of Nuggets-style garage rock, revivalist punk, and underground classics. is back to shake the rafters once again.
