Hellzapoppin

Hellzapoppin is the first full-length album from the 3Ds. First released on CD in 1992, Hellzapoppin demonstrates the dichotomy of the band’s upbeat pop-rockers laden with backhanded lyrics; leaving the listener alone to battle with deceptively captivating songs about ludicrously dreadful things.

This is the second vinyl release of the 3Ds’ debut, and features the inherently skewed pop sounds of the 13 original tracks. Opening with the giddy crunch of ‘Outer Space’, with its flat-out fun melody, plenty of crazy guitar effects, it sets the tone for an album that is both thrashing and tuneful but never pointlessly macho. Instead, amongst the crash, bang and occasional hysterics, songs like ‘Ugly Day’ and ‘Swallow’ radiate a great, fun vibe.
