Best reason ever to Kill your Dog

"Don't even call yourself a punk rocker without being able to say you got on your knees and hailed this EP in 1983. "Fears of Gun" is a brutal look at alchoholic despair. Fueled by heroine breakfasts, Nick Cave rabidly screams Hands Up-Who Wants to Die?! to begin "Sonny's Burning" It remains the most insanely powerful song ever penned by Cave. "Deep in the Woods" was exactly like getting your heart stomped in to the swamp-mud, and liking it. Mutiny in Heaven EP was a disappointment in comparison, but the title song would clear a church quicker than anything save The Feeders "Jesus Entering from the Rear." You know, if you ever needed to do that sort of thing. I was a huge Boys Next Door fan. The Bad Seed EP was head and shoulders above anything King Ink had ever done. Be careful, this music will assault you. Check out The Bad Seeds Henry's Dream disc. It is phenomenal. Any collaboration with Lydia Lunch is also worth checking out."
