Yard Trauma "Must Have Been Something I Took Last Night" 1985

Yard Trauma’s sophomore effort, and a pretty good one with better songs and better playing than on the first.
Yard Trauma were one of the leading Garage Punk revival bands of the 1980s. Yard Trauma were formed in Tucson (Arizona) by singer-guitarist Joe Dodge and bassist Lee Joseph, who had been playing in the Johnny Seven. The cassette Reptile House (1983), the single Some People (Iconoclast, 1983), and the mini-album Yard Trauma (Bonafide, 1984) introduced an enthusiastic gang enamoured of the Seeds, the Strawberry Alarm Clock, etc (plus Lance Kaufman's Farfisa organ). This was Lee Joseph's band, founder of Dionysus Records. Their first full album "Must've Been Something I Took Last Night" was re-released a year later by Lolita Records (Lolita 5084 / 1986) in France retitled as "No Conclusions". Although the tracks were from various sessions this is a pretty coherent record and will please garage and psychedelic heads as well.
