THE ZOOMERS - Directly Contend 7"

Springing forth from the same mutant milieu/miasma/non-scene as fellow state capital punks the Shitdogs and disintegrating faster than a fourth quarter Saints lead, The Zoomers – perhaps moreso than any other punk/post-punk group from Louisiana – likely resembled their surroundings the least. Their lone 1981 single, pressed up in an edition of a few hundred, is the perfect background music to a This Is Your Brain On Drugs PSA. Sonically more akin to the UK bedroom DIY messthetic, but philosophically American fuck up. Reissued here with unique and hand painted picture sleeves.
Crazy story and part of the madness that makes the obscuro/KBD realm so interesting: Originally, the beautiful space-punk picture sleeves were all hand-painted by The Zoomers themselves. Most of them were thrown out the window of a speeding car whilst joyriding on a levee so finding an original sleeve is next to impossible. Argh but also amen.

Official reissue out on Mighty Mouth Music, part of the Last Laugh / Almost Ready / Mighty Mouth label conglomerate.
