Indies-only limited edition Mustard coloured vinyl

‘Superfuzz Bigmuff’, a six-song EP so overflowing with chaotic rock energy it warped thousands of minds, and inspired countless guitarists to immediately search for the titular fuzz pedals.

In the words of Dynamite Hemorrhage’s Jay Hinman:“My feeling - and I know I’m not alone in this one - is that for all the play and worldwide attention several Seattle-area bands got during the 1988-92 period, at the end of the day (and even at the time), there was Mudhoney - and then there was everybody else. To me, you, and most everyone who was paying close attention to underground rock music during those years, Mudhoney still sound like the undisputed kingpins of roaring, surging, fuzzed-out, punk rock music. These first recordings were so life-affirming upon their release, connecting everything great about the sixties (biker movies, fuzz boxes, old guitars,three-minute songs) with the frothing, punk rock of the early ‘80s, that a whole new ‘style’ of music was born. They called it grunge, but to me it was amped-up, clear-the-room, ramalamarock that exploded like Nagasaki live, and it was about as joyous and as fun a noise as anyone’d heard in years.”
