The Bodysnatchers - The Bodysnatchers 7" EP
ARE YOU INTO DESTRUCTION?!? Original pressings are super rare and expensive when they do turn up for sale. You’ve heard them on Killed By Death and Bloodstains comps, but this 1978 EP has never been reissued in it’s original form, UNTIL NOW!
Enter Austin's Punk Band: The Bodysnatchers, composed of a coterie of musicians from Abilene,Del Rio, and Idyllwild, who’d all migrated to Austin in the early 70’s. Singer Larry James, guitarist Tom McMahon,"tenor" bassist Kyle Brock, (also in Eric Johnson’s Electromagnets), second bassist Jimmy Pettit, and brothers Chris Bailey on guitar and Ian Bailey on drums. The Bodysnatchers was a band that was ultimately unsustainable due to its force and volume. Their live show experience left band and audiences alike, energized, yet completely drained. Only about seven shows were performed over a period of months. Although at the dawn of punk rock, their sound had an early metal ethic, and a wall of sound production. Too much was never enough, and true to their distorted indulgence of stupidity and carelessness - It’s live!
