TOMMY AND THE COMMIES "Here Come..." LP

by TOMMY AND THE COMMIES

supported by

Bea Laverne Simply a great time. Favorite track: Hurtin' Boys.

poikkeus Tommy and the Commies specialize in rockin' pop punk; the vocals reminded me of Pete Shelley, but the guitars are closer to early Jam. Catchy songwriting and loads of energy. Favorite track: Devices.

brantly It's kind of like if Howard Devoto never left the Buzzcocks and they kept making records in the 1976 vein. Slovenly Records really doesn't release shitty records, proven here again!

about

From swingin’ Sudbury, Ontario, CA (nada), here come TOMMY and the COMMIES with their debut recordings for Slovenly Recordings, "Here come Tommy and the Commies!" “Here Come…” is 16 blistering minutes of hooliganistic mod-punk madness featuring Jeff Houle, also known as the sole brain behind budget rock cult faves STRANGE ATTRACTOR, and his brother Mitch, known ⅔ collectively as the power-pop force STATUES of P. Trash Records fame.

Swagger drenched youngster frontman Tommy Commy recruited Strange Jeff by dragging him into a bathroom stall during a punk show, playing him an inaudible demo on a phone. The Houle Two agreed to join forces for Tommy’s first foray into the world of record making on the strength of giving “Spiral Scratch” era Howard Devoto a run for his dosh on the vox on any given holiday. This kid has GOT IT, BABY!

In a perfect modern world, songs like “Devices,” and “Suckin’ In Your 20’s” would be massive chart smashes on the level of “Teenage Kicks.” Those days are long gone, but here we are in 2018, giving YOU what you need, and what THEY don’t deserve.

Kinda like the Damned circa '78 meets Radio Birdman meets Chuck Berry meets The Testors. A bit of The Briefs / Stitches and label-mates Slander Tongue in there for good measure. This is fucking rock n' roll. Buy or die. brantly

Can't listen w/o hearing Young Marble Giants, but a more nervous, taut take. All the tracks are great, but can't stop humming the title to myself. Josh Steichmann

This record hit me up for beer money outside the bodega. It's loud, it's fast, it's sloppy-- and so are they. Drunk, angry, horny, and kinda stupid may be no way to go through life, but they're not done trying it. This is fun music, and if you're not having fun within thirty seconds of the the needle drop, check and make sure you've got it set to 45 and not 33.3 RPM. marxalot
