the humpers - black cats

Wikipedia says...

"The Humpers were a garage punk band formed in 1989 led by Scott "Deluxe" Drake, formerly of The Suicide Kings. Despite being based out of Long Beach, California, they first won acclaim in Yugoslavia, where their debut EP, My Machine (which is now extremely rare), was released. They released two full-lengths for Sympathy for the Record Industry which were highly praised and three for Caroline/Epitaph. The Humpers, along with label mates The Lazy Cowgirls, The Red Aunts,Trash Can School and Clawhammer, were part of a "garage punk renaissance" which hit Los Angeles in the early 1990s. Rabid fans and packed, punk-friendly clubs such as Raji's in Hollywood and Bogart's in Long Beach helped lay the foundation for their success. Most of their appeal lay in the driving sonic force of guitarist Jeff Fieldhouse as well as the blistering vocals of Drake. After signing to Epitaph in 1995, The Humpers went on to tour extensively in the US and Europe, garnering a large
international following."

This track is from their album "My Machine", released on the Yugoslavian label Slušaj Najglasnije!(U 2804) in 1990. The album was later released in the US in 1992 on the Mean Dog Records label (MD 001).
