Happy Charlie

From Italy's nether-region of Sardinia, schizoid punks THEE OOPS are back with a hardcore holocaust called the Happy Charlie EP. Spread over two 7 platters (or one shiny CD, natch) like a fine casu marzu, Thee Oops bring 10 searing tracks of maggot infested punk rock ruckus like no one since hardcore's salad days. The nine originals here twist and shred like a blast of shrapnel to the puss, with violence and anarchy reigning supreme, but this crew ain't above letting the humor seep through, and they belt out a breakneck version of the Beastie Boys' 1982 classic Egg Raid On Mojo, making this one of the first Beastie's covers since the untimely death of Adam MCA Yauch. Look for Thee Oops in the orient as they bring their nuclear assault to China, S. Korea and Japan in November 2012!
