Stepmother [Australia] – Absurdus Manifestus [GRAY VINYL] – New LP

Stepmother is an Australian power trio fronted by legendary underground guitarist Graham Clise (Annihilation Time, Lecherous Gaze, Rot TV, Witch).  The trio return with a sharper blade and heavier boot following their 2023 debut, Planet Brutalicon…

Fusing high velocity Motor City proto punk with fuzz, feedback and electric psych, the band draw once more upon the spirit of Blue Cheer, The Pink Fairies, Nervous Eaters, and The Damned, to wield hardened punk and nefarious nihilism, to confront the absurdity, violence, and dark comedy of modern existence. Channelling raw rock ’n’ roll urgency into feral anthems for society’s poor, depraved, and proudly miscreant, Absurdus Manifestus heralds the long overdue return of legendary Oz-outliers, Stepmother. 

FFO: Witch, Annihilation Time, Lecherous Gaze
