Brooklyn Vegan premiered “Tuck Belly Up” from the upcoming Clown Sounds album Par For The Curse (out July 12!):
Clown Sounds is one of the many bands led by the great Todd Congelliere (who also leads or has lead F.Y.P., Toys That Kill, and more), and they’ve got a new record called Par For The Curse coming on July 12 via Todd’s label Recess Records. They recently released lead single “Primetime Recount,” and we’re now premiering second single “Tuck Belly Up.” It’s exactly the kind of catchy, garagey, no-frills punk ripper that Todd has been banging out for decades, and he remains at the top of his game. “Our society is obsessed with taking short cuts,” Todd says of the song. “Abdominoplasty delivery in 30 minutes or less. Let’s feast!”

When I finally leaked my fantasy of putting out a vinyl record in 1988 Mike Smith told me “Ask your buddy O. He knows everything about everything”. Turns out he did. So I did. He told me to press it at Bill Smith Custom Records. He told me to send it to Calvin Johnson over at etc etc. Turned out to be very casual yet insanely valuable advice. dunno where or if I’d be without Otis. RIP my friend
Check out great photos and words on the Thrasher site.
