Daddy's Hands Redux

As an addendum to this earlier post about Daddy's Hands - one of my all time favourite bands - I thought I would also share a few more songs from their absolutely amazing cassette demo releases. Their music is hard to describe, but it has the right combination of punk rock amateurism, pop sensibility, and insane freak-out that, until I saw Frog Eyes, made me wonder if any other bands were playing this kind of music. I had high hopes for their first official album but, when they finally released the LP Tutankahmun, it ended up sounding eerily similar to the Cramps and had lost alot of the intensity of earlier efforts. (Not to say that it wasn't good, but it would have been better if it sounded like the songs below.) These songs were recorded some time in the mid-to-late 1990s and are great. I promise that you will like them.

Daddy's Hands - Don't Go

Daddy's Hands - Bastard, You're A Hard Man To Love/Redman

Daddy's Hands - Hey Kunt

If you like what you heard, you can download an unreleased album - recorded some time after these songs - here thanks to the kind folks at the Hive Studios. I think that the band is in the process of recording a new album and there are even some rumours of Thurston Moore being involved.
