Stumbled across this randomly today. Some lovely recent scratchy Gary Panter art for Mark Sultan‘s new LP “War on Rock ‘n’ Roll” on In The Red Records. Vinyl only. Available from Midheaven Mailorder.
Mark Sultan (a.k.a. BBQ) is a one-man band and one of the best crooners around. For this release, he declares war on rock n’ roll music. He’s even written a manifesto that’s included with this release so you know exactly where he’s coming from. The dude’s pissed. Who can blame him?
War on Rock ’n’ Roll is one continuous, 51-minute piece recorded in one take live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It’s a weirdo medley that includes many of his best songs, drum breakdowns, primal screams and guitar freak-outs.
The album was pressed in an edition of 500 and all copies are on red-and-black splatter vinyl. The silk-screened record cover features totally badass artwork done exclusively for the release by Gary Panter.
