A hugely influential album cited as the embryo for punk, grunge and beyond. Featuring epic 1970 concepts from this far reaching trio much praised by Underworld’s Karl Hyde, Captain Sensible, Stephen Malkmus and a host of others.‘Thank Christ For The Bomb’ is a visionary tale of cold war fear, alienation and everyday drama.“This is a masterpiece!” New Musical Express. A thinking man’s rumination on alienation, the album is a game of two halves; side one tackling the thermo nuclear threat while side two traces riches to rags alienation in everyday London. First of a trio of ground-breaking albums that steered the band from the Blues into a heavier, more prog-based sound and a true reflection of their much-praised live sound.

Classic Groundhogs from 1970... Loud, heavy blues rock crossed with elements of the then-newly emerging prog sound. Raw, experimental and dirty. If you're a newcomer to this band, this is a good place to start. Fof fans of Jimi Hendrix Experience, Canned Heat, Pavement. Check them out...
