Electro Hippies

The Only Good Punk... Is A Dead One

Hailing from the former northern mining town of Wigan, between Manchester and Liverpool, the short-lived Electro Hippies were a band like no other, saluted as icons of crust punk and proto-grindcore. Following some cassette demos, a shared LP with Newcastle's Generic and a Peel session, debut LP 'The Only Good Punk... Is A Dead One' surfaced on Peaceville with twenty songs, all clocking in at under two minutes (around half being less than 60 seconds). Highly political, deeply ironic, and with a snatch of Black Sabbath in the mix, 'The Only Good Punk' is the band at their blistering best, the peak that preceded their ultimate downfall. Originally released in 1988. Comes on clear vinyl.
