GROUNDHOGS, THE
CROSSCUT SAW (RSD) (FIRE RECORDS)
2000 pressed. Ltd Silver Vinyl, Foil Blocked sleeve, DL card. Available for the first time on vinyl since 1976 and featuring a limited edition foil embossed sleeve with extensive liner notes.
Crosscut Saw sees the reformed Groundhogs with second guitarist Dave Wellbelove, sparring with the legendary Tony McPhee.
"Musically I'd gone back to the basics," McPhee told Sounds, the addition of a doodle of synth and a second guitarist notwithstanding.
As a result; "Riffs galore permeate." (AllMusic). A suitably explosive prog-pleasing follow up to 1992's 'Who Will Save The World' and 'Hogwash' rekindling the fire of the blues in a new, heavy progressive setting, all set for a new guitar-powered age.
