Description
Stinkhole is a Berlin Based Mold Encrusted Egg Punk Band.
Our take:This is the debut vinyl from this Mold Encrusted Egg punk band out of Berlin, Germany. I first heard of Stinkhole on the Life During Wartime radio show on KBOO in Portland. It was one of those moments when I hear something I didnt know about and wait for the back announcement so I can investigate further. I noted Stinkholes name and looked them up, which led me to Germanys Mangel Records, and now were stocking most of that labels releases. What a story! Thanks Matt C! Back to Stinkhole, though. Its unclear to me what constitutes egg punk as a musical genre, but whatever category you throw Lumpy & the Dumpers into, Stinkhole belongs there too. Not that they sound exactly like Lumpy;Steppin On Out and Slippin On Slug Slime adopt a Flipper / Butthole Surfers-style loosey goosey groove, the title track sounds like sped-up early Devo, and other songs sound like pretty straight hardcore to me, but all those elements are filtered through Lumpys gross-out sensibility, mostly in the way the vocalist wretches and heaves. The artwork even looks of a piece with the Lumpy releases. This style of punk lives and dies by its freakiness level, and this one is way up there, especially for something still based in hardcore. A bona fide weirdo ripper.
