Hoodoo Gurus Mars Needs Guitars
The Hoodoo Gurus followed their debut Stoneage Romeos with the equally excellent Mars Needs Guitars!, a second helping of Dave Faulkner's wonderfully skewed kitsch-pop confections. While the band's basic m.o. remained the same- '60s-era pop, garage rock, and cowpunk remained their key musical reference points - Faulkner's skills as a songwriter had grown perceptibly. With sharp wit - from the hillbilly freakout of "Hayride to Hell" to the primitive B-movie stomp of the title track, their affection for the guilty pleasures of trash culture is infectious. Irresistible fun. Remastered and pressed on heavyweight green vinyl.
