The Broken Jug - William (Glitterhouse Records 1986) + Grand Junction EP (Glitterhouse Records 1985)


Legendary sixties garage band from Bamberg, Germany. They were even positively reviewed by Diedrich Diederichsen (legendary german music journalist of the 80s) and appear in one of his books. Founded in 1984 and released the two albums "William" and "Burning Down The Neighborhood" on Glitterhouse Records in addition to various singles. All in the style of The Stooges, MC5 or Radio Birdman.    -Source

 


 ...Their first EP, Grand Junction, is an instant classic of uninhibited garage. Recorded on a four-track machine in their rehearsal rooom, it bursts with energy and verve. The Jug’s sound mixes the mystery of The Doors’ organ with the directness of 60’s punk: simple, clear and gutty. 
Their first LP, William, treads the same territory, yet with a tighter, more professional sound. It’s very distinctive and somehow innately German, yet highly identifiable by American genre standards…    -Timothy Gassen

Grand Junction EP
 


From one of the leaders of 80`s garage-psych revival in Germany. Among the first releases of Glitterhouse records. Fresh (old) sound and genuine (imitated) atmosphere. Had come for making just some primitive electric noise, but later they decided to burn down the whole neighborhood.
