MP3: Hospital Bombers – “The Devil’s Music” from Footnotes, out now on Excelsior.
This Amsterdam group got its name from the Mountain Goats song, “The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton” (live MP3) which features the lyrics: “The best ever death metal band out of Denton / Never settled on a name / But the top three contenders, after weeks of debate / were Satan’s Fingers, and the Killers, and the Hospital Bombers.” Their first EP was called Satan’s Fingers. Too far? Probably. Will they be able to syphon off enough Mountain Goats fans to make a career out of it? Probably not. Who knows though?
But this song is kind of charming, if you try not to take it seriously. Hail Satan.
