the Mutants of the Holocaust: American Mary Katharine Isabelle Soska Sisters

"...so bad, they're actually bad!"

Can it be true? Are the Mutants of the Holocaust really that bad? Well judge for yourselves fellow music lovers. This page gives a brief snapshot of a short period in the bands lifespan. More will be written when I get round to it.
In the meantime, feel free to download these tracks recorded in the bass players bedroom sometime in '85 if memory serves correctly.

We ran through the songs once and then recorded them straight onto a cheap compact cassette recorder.

Train is not one of ours - not actually sure who wrote it, although everyone has covered it, but this is based on a cross between the Shockabilly and Motorhead versions. Mushroomhead, on the other hand is one of ours. This is really just a series of observations and comments about, and inspired by, a certain strain of fungus. End of the World is also one of ours. Originally it was at least three times as long as what you hear on this record but for some reason or another, the tape got cut and the rest has been lost to history. Shame really. Loose is, of course, the Stooges song, although again, our version is based on the one that the Birthday Party recorded. We finish off with a tune that changed every time we played it. Whoever was singing at the time invented some new words; only the opening line stayed the same.

What happened to side two, you ask?

Well quite honestly, that’s it! That’s all we have.

American Mary Katharine Isabelle Soska Sisters

Went to see a screening of American Mary last night, The latest film by The Sorska Sisters and starring Katharine Isabelle (probably best known for her role in the Ginger Snaps series)and very good it was too. Had the pleasure of chatting briefly with all three after the screening and what a charming trio they were. The only possible link I can make with the M.O.T.H as an excuse for writing about it here (do I need an excuse? ) is that I was accompanied by The Drift ('producer' of the album). Anyway, would recommend the movie to any horror buffs.
