One of the most underrated bands of the ’90s are Urusei Yatsura. They were noisy good fun and could deliver sugary sweet punk as well as delivering all manner of unholy noise on your ears. Hailing from Glasgow and with good hair, their gigs were chaos, with drumsticks used as blunt force to hit guitars and pedals with, and anyone who saw them always walked out with their hair on end.
Well, great news is that their 1996 debut LP – ‘We Are Urusei Yatsura’ – has been reissued and it’s available to pre-order! If you want some killer lo-fi indie-punk, this is the one for you. The reissue comes with a slab of unreleased demos, B-sides and rarities.
The album features the utterly magnificent ‘Kewpies Like Watermelon’ and if you’ve not heard it before, have a listen below. It’s two-tonne of fucking fun!
Pre-order on gold vinyl right now.
