Stupid Americanz - Lost Cause EP [House O' Pain, 1991]
Stupid Americanz were a hardcore punk band from Nashville, featuring a pre-Teen Idols' Phillip Hill on either guitar or bass. According to its catalog number (HOP-001), this is also legendary Music City punk label House O' Pain's first release.
Somehow this record found a great deal of popularity in my home town 4 years after its release, long after the band had dissolved, and understandably so. It's packing a dangerous combo of fury & melody in the vein of Bad Religion, but instead of politics, their songs are all about zombies, beer, and giving your friends a hard time for no reason. If I were in the habit of rating these records with a star system (and I've considered it), I'd give this thing 4 out of 5.

Philly, as he was called on the record, was the third bass player for Stupid Americanz.
ReplyDeleteI would give anything to be able to buy that album again. It was truly epic.
ReplyDeleteWow... memories. I (Tim Bean) was the drummer in the band. Evan Bloomer on guitar, Phillip on bass, and Rusty Minshall on lead vocals.
