I love these stoner metal 10" singles on Man's Ruin Records from the 90s. Just killin' it with monster riffs. This one by Fu Manchu opens with a cover of heavy rock favorites Blue Öyster Cult.





MEAT WHIPLASH - DON'T SLIP UP 7" (CREATION RECORDS [CRE 020], 1985) [UK]

Meat Whiplash - Don't Slip Up 7"
(Creation Records – CRE 020], 1985) [UK]




A Scottish indie noise pop group that had only this one release on Creation Records in 1985. Meat Whiplash had a sound very similar to Jesus & Mary Chain, and why only one single and two songs?? They could have been equally huge. I had a particularly noisy weekend with work crews digging outside -- so, this next string of uploads will be exceptionally loud and noisy as well.
