Past Masterpiece of the Week [+Bonus Record!!] (Mar 1-11, 2017): The Mummies – Shitsville 7″ (1990) + Never Been Caught (1992)
The Mummies were an American garage punk band from San Bruno, CA. Formed in late 1988, they exhibited a defiantly raw and lo-fi sound, dubbed “budget rock.” The Mummies, with their unique sound coupled with their rebellious attitude and distinctive performance costumes, established themselves as a major influence on garage punk and garage rock revival acts later in the decade, as well as in the 1990s.
