]]> The Humpers “The Dionysus Years” 1995. Hell Yeah Records. Six song 10″ EP of early 90′s California garage punk originally on Dionysus Records (Hell Yeah is a subsidiary of Dionysus). Two of the six tracks were previously unreleased: “Cops and Robbers” and “Black Cats.” The three songs on Side A were literally recorded in a garage; from the liner notes: “…were recorded sometime around 1992 by Danny McGough in the garage behind his house in Atwater.” Those include “Hey Shadow,” “Insect Liberation,” and “Cops and Robbers.” Frontman/singer Scott “Deluxe” Drake writes about “Insect Liberation” – “The much maligned bug-anthem was the last song I played guitar on. Upon hearing the lyrics to this smash hit, original bassist Bill Warman threw down his instrument and exclaimed ‘I refuse to play in a song called “Insect Liberation!”’ (It’s not that bad! Super-silly lyrics but hard-driving, blistering garage punk). “Dead Last” and “Superpower,” the remaining songs on the EP, were recorded at the Bomb Shelter in ‘93. After recording the singles for Dionysus, The Humpers recorded a two albums on Sympathy for the Record Industry in ‘93 and ‘94 before signing with Epitaph Records in ‘95.
