THE GRAVEDIGGER V: The Mirror Cracked LP

Description

A cornerstone of the 1980s garage punk revival, The Mirror Cracked by The Gravedigger V stands as a snarling, distortion-drenched tribute to the chaos of ’60s teenbeat. Soaked in reverb, driven by raw, rasping vocals and a primitive, defiant edge, the album captures the spirit of Nuggets-era garage with a punk backbone.

Originally released in 1984 on Voxx Records, a subsidiary of Bomp! Records, the record quickly became a cult favourite among garage devotees and punk purists alike. Long unavailable on record, it now returns for the first time since 1987 in this special vinyl pressing, marking the 50th anniversary of Bomp!

This edition includes an exclusive insert featuring new liner notes by founding guitarist John Hanrattie, offering insight into the band’s brief yet explosive existence.

A mandatory addition for fans of Nuggets-style garage rock, revivalist punk, and underground classics. The Mirror Cracked is back to rattle the foundations once again.
