The mash-up of two of Madison, Wisconsin’s most prominent independent bands, Shazy Hade live by punk edicts, writing tracks that are irreverent and never showy or overwrought. Mixing in a bit of 60’s garage and psychedelia, the band recorded three albums, with the third lost for years only to be rediscovered and remastered to finally get released.
One of the stand-out tracks from this session is the lo-fi, snarky “Alien Babies”. The vocals recall 90’s underground bands like Guided by Voices, with the grungy guitars and drums adding some muscle to the quick bit of power pop to make it “Banger” worthy. The track is short, sweet, and fun to play LOUD.
