Groovie Ghoulies are ok.

A tribute to them featuring 20 bands who might as well be called the Never Heard Of 'Ems isn't so exciting.

matt_b (April 5, 2008)

ha, well arn't you just a cynic asshole.

David5345 (April 5, 2008)

I've heard of most of them, some are good, others suck. What you'd expect from bands on a tribute comp.

Cyanotic (April 5, 2008)

I do my best.

SkolarX (April 6, 2008)

i'd think at least a few people who post here know who the parasites are.

you're right though, this seems like a lot of these types of comps where there is maybe one band who people have heard of and then a ton of very little known bands. the nofx tribute comes to mind (featuring hte ghoulies no less)

ZombieCrush (April 7, 2008)

The Groovie Ghoulies rule.

Well, I have a feeling everyone already figured out that I am a huge fan...

why

Holy_Balls (April 5, 2008)

my ex-girlfriend is stoked!

ThreeChordsAndTheTruth (April 5, 2008)

I loved the Ghoulies and all, but do I really wanna hear a bunch of poor man's Screeching Weasels cover them? They're not really that seminal, I'd rather just listen to the originals. There's only so many ways you can cover "Fun in the Dark" or whatever.

GlassPipeMurder (April 5, 2008)

I fully approve. The Prozacs and Hollywood Blondes rule.

Banal242 (April 5, 2008)

As further tribute to the Ghoulies, each band will feature one girl who you want to stare at and one who can actually play her instrument.

Jesus_H_Christ (April 6, 2008)

I'm curious.

SkolarX (April 6, 2008)

the ghoulies are my favorite band but i don't know how i feel about this. if the parasites weren't on this i'd probably pass on it

Skibz777 (April 6, 2008)

I'm a fan of the Ghoulies, but I honestly don't see the need nor the appeal of a tribute album. I mean, they're a good, fun band, but they were hardly influential/popular enough to warrant a tribute album...

Nap (April 6, 2008)

Exactly. A million other bands would deserve a tribute before Groovie Ghoulies.

TrueBeliever (April 6, 2008)

Suicide Machines comes to mind...

manincognito (April 6, 2008)

parasites. guts, prozacs, and others doing a tribute to a great band? sounds awesome. i'll pick this up. sure, i think alot of the songs will sound similar to the originals, i still think groovie ghoulies were a greast band and totoally are deserving of a tribute..i would have ;liked to see different genres of music though covering their tunes..i think it'd be cool to see non-pop-punk trying to cover their songs..but hey, it all sounds good.

That is an awesome line up. I will most likely pick this up.

ZombieCrush (April 7, 2008)

Never heard of about 95% of those bands...

That's actually a good thing to me. I wouldn't mind checking out new bands...especially when I know that I already know the songs.

Hey Ho!
There will also be a german GROOVIE GHOULIES tribute on Kamikaze Records. There will be Poppunk, Horrorpunk, Rockabilly, Surf and Garage Rock n Roll on it. Bands:
