The Hellacopters - Head Off


In data de 17 mai 2008, The Wildhearts a lansat albumul de cover-uri Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before, Vol 1. Un singur lucru important putem sa le reprosam celor de la The Wildhearts: titlul, mai precis acel Vol. 1. Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before, Vol 1 putea fi cel putin un subtitlu pentru Head Off. In sprijinul acestei idei vine, in primul rand, aspectul cronologic, albumul celor de la The Hellacopters a aparut in data de 18 aprilie 2008, dar mai ales continutul si aria de selectie. Trupa care in 2005 s-a folosit de cliseul Rock & Roll Is Dead a decis sa-si incheie activitatea muzicala prin Head Off, un produs de exceptie care omagiaza o pleiada de trupe mai putin cunoscute care au avut un rol semnificativ in conturarea universului muzical The Hellacopters, dar nu au avut sansa unei mediatizari pe masura valorii lor. Acum e momentul sa spun "stop me if you think you've heard this one before", citandu-i pe cei de la The Smiths, si sa prezint cele doisprezece piese (in paranteza gasiti numele trupelor responsabile de existenta acestui produs):

Electrocute (Demons)
Midnight Angels (The Peepshows)
I'm Watching You (The Humpers)
No Salvation (The Turpentines)
In the Sign of the Octopus (The Robots)
Veronica Lake (New Bomb Turks)
Another Turn (The Maharajas)
I Just Don't Know About Girls (Asteroid B-612)
Rescue (Dead Moon)
Making Up For Lost Time (The Bellrays)
Throttle Bottom (Gaza Strippers)
Darling Darling (The Royal Cream)
