nofi garage punk doesn't get any better than I'M A MAN, I'M A FLOWER..... hopped up on black flag, the sonics, the stooges, the kinks and the gories, THE READYMADES rocket through some of the best unhinged distorto punk madness you'll come across ....... this is of course to be expected if you know anything about rich haley, charles albright and/or chris woodhouse, whose other projects bear a close resemblance to the READYMADES.......
band history is sparse (no internet presence at all),
so here's the details direct from the source.....
according to MT ST MTN -
13 tracks of blown-out, lo-fi garage punk blast that walks a tight-rope between intentional organized chaos and a car careening off a bridge. Recorded over a decade ago in the legendary Loft space by Chris Woodhouse (Mayyors, Karate Party), this record got shelved as the band imploded and members went on to more stable projects - Rich Haley forming the Duchess Of Saigon (S-S Records) and Charles Albright forming and unforming a million projects since then, including his highly regarded recent solo output (S-S Records, Permanent Records). Greg Ginn joins the early Kinks and borrows Henry's Dress' equipment to do covers off the first Redd Kross record. Howling cave-stomp punk with film of chattering white noise and the best of the Woodhouse treatment. Get yourself a hat and hold on to it.
pretty much the exactly what i wanna listen to all the time........ TRASHY LOUD BUDGET ROCK GOODNESS, BLOWN OUT AND FUCKED UP.....A ROCK N ROLL HOUSE SHOW WAITING TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME YOU THROW THE READYMADES ON THE TURNTABLE....
very recommended to those into the RIP OFFS, MAYYORS, G GREEN, MUMMIES, THE WHINES, KARATE PARTY, LOS HUEVOS and THE MOONHEARTS.......
