3D & The Holograms - 3D & The Holograms LP

Remember that Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode where the cast inhale a toxic gas that turns them inside-out and they wind out the episode with a little showtune number? That’s kinda like what the first LP from correspondence punks 3D & The Holograms is like!

Split between Sydney and Olympia, Washington, the trio features members of Research Reactor Corps, Gee Tee, Tee Vee Repairmann, Mainframe, and The Gobs (and whose short-lived live iteration in Sydney earlier this year featured members of RMFC, Questmaster, and Steroid) playing breakneck speed (at times synthy) punk that trudges through the futuristic Robocop-esque AI controlled horrors, trash, and mediation of the present/future with humour and cartoonishness but without taking those realities lightly.

If ya don’t trust my word and want a stamp of approval from a reputable music writing masthead, one Maximum Rock’n’Roll writer described it as “what GG Allin wishes he sounded like” and the group got the Big Indie tick of approval with a very solid 7.0 from Pitchfork.

Pretty flash package from NYC’s Roachleg records here, with three colour variants for the cover, along with lyric sheet, flyer, and jumbo newsprint poster.
