Plutonium Baby BLAST! Sci-Fi Music for Contemporary Freaks

(Universes created to beat boredom, subhuman races, freak twins and psychopathic healers – here is BLAST! Sci-fi music for contemporary maniacs!
Garage-psych frenzy without all the useless tinsel, punk attitude and lashing of spastic power pop.

My Universe opens the A-side and it immediately puts things straight. Bored aliens having fun creating worlds where they then end up trapped.
No Time briefly confirms the psych-garage atmosphere, and soon after Dexter & Debra Morgan slams you into textbook surf sounds.
Twin Freaks is a lysergic bubble. With twin souls escaping from the asylum. But which human species do they belong to? What kind of heart do they have?

The story continues on the B-side…
Journey time: 30 minutes on planet Earth or 30 seconds for those coming from Pluto.
Twelve tracks, mixed by the excellent Wolfman Bob (Ultra Twist, BMC), which also include a couple of alternative versions of tracks released on the now unavailable music cassette “Weird World Outtakes and Other Cadavers Exquis”)PLUTONIUM BABY BIO

Hailing from the south-east neighborhood of Rome, Italy, Plutonium Baby is a supergroup with Black Guitarra, former member of all-female garage-punk band Motorama and Fil Sharp and Feith Da Grave, from the punk-wave Cactus.

A guitar, a synth, drums and a bunch of reverb and distortion on vocals: Jay Reatard shouting at Suicide and the Rezillos chewing the B-52’s. Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to have some peace, you’re on the wrong track!
Plutonium Baby first 7” is a split with Margaret Doll Rod (of the Demolition Doll Rods fame). It was released by Spanish label Ghost Highway in 2011.
The second release is a limited edition tape, which includes 4 studio outtakes, published by Italian trashy indie-label Welcome in the Shit Records in 2012.
“Welcome to the Weird World” is the title of their debut album released by Vida Loca Records. 13 tracks recorded by Alex Vargiu (Bloody Riot/Bingo/the Dissuaders) and Mirko Ravaglia.
Their last work “Weird World Outtakes and Other Cadavres Exquis” is a collection of 8 tracks (outtakes, alternate versions, unreleased songs) on a Welcome in the Shit 69 limited edition cassette.
Plutonium Baby also have some trashy videos out, like “Be My Man”, dedicated to the Toxic Avenger and the Troma movies, “Highway Hypnosis” an homage to the cult 80’s movie Liquid Sky by Slava Tsukerman and “Fist of Zen” and some more.

REVIEWS

THEE PSYCHEDELICATESSEN 02/04/2018

Plutonium Baby are back with their first record for quite some time on Area Pirata Records, the home of Italian Garage Rock. The band are influenced by the trash aesthetic of Russ Mayer, Troma movies and cult sci-fi films like Liquid Sky along with the stripped back Garage Rock of The Dirtbombs, The Gories, The Screamers and The Sonics and the proto Punk of the Modern Lovers and Velvet Underground among others. Absorbing all these influences, BLAST! Sci-Fi Music For Contemporary Freaks by the trashy Italian Garage/Punk trio comes on like the bastard offspring of an unholy night of sex and drugs and rock and roll between the B52s, CBGBs Blondie, Suicide, ? And The Mysterians, Jay Reatard, Pussy Galore and The Rezillos, raw ,loud, snotty and totally seeped in the classic sounds that define the genre…….…it’s gloriously dumb and a ton of fun.

It’s a…….erm…..total blast as Black Guitarra, from the Rock’n’Roll girl duo Motorama, with Fil Sharp and Feith Da Grave (both from Italian Garage/Punk band Cactus) conjure up a wall of Garage Rock squall with fuzzed up guitars, crashing drums and swirling keyboards, channelling 60s Sc-FI Psych frenzy with songs about universes created to beat boredom, subhuman races, freak twins and psychopathic healers. Plutonium Baby flirt with Garage/Psych, Surf sounds, acid drenched wig outs and Punk Pop in a 30 minute short sharp shot of trashy and electrifying Rock ‘n’ Roll on a 12 track rocket fueled trip to Garageland’s twilight zone where all the freaks get it on. Great stuff………primitive Garage Rock at its best.

Bertrand Tappaz – 23/05/2018 – VOIX DE GARAGE GRENOBLE

Toujours partisan de l’éthique et de l’esthétique DIY les Plutonium Baby ! Mais selon leurs codes et à leur façon totalement personnelle !
J’avais énormément craqué sur leur précédent album donc j’ai trouvé très long le gap jusqu’à celui-ci mais eux ont beaucoup tourné et sortit une K7 de titres rares…
Pas de bol pour moi cet album m’est parvenu au moment où ma Hi-Fi rendait l’âme. Mais quand j’ai réussis à l’écouter je me suis fait martyrisé les oreilles comme j’aime et comme je l’escomptais !
Psych Punk / Garage Punk / Synth Punk bien secoué, puissant et vigoureux. Ce qui ne signifie pas que ces 12 titres soient unidimensionnels et répétitifs… Plutonium Baby trouvent toujours un truc rythmique, sonique, vocal… pour rendre chacun unique au sein d’un album homogène qui fait une nouvelle fois émerger leur très forte personnalité. Et leur capacité à toujours se pencher sur chaque chanson pour en faire une chose unique.
Personnalité qui tient beaucoup à ce son de Fuzz qui se couple aux sonorités étonnantes des claviers entre proto Farfisa et synthé 80’s. Plus la frénésie et les voix.
Ah oui, fait moi mal johnny johnny envois moi au ciel ! Boum !!!
