"Greatest album title ever, sum's up everything. Goes great with a couple of pale ales. Great rhythmandbluesrockandroll swagger with punksnarlin'-inyourface attitude. This band fell way beneath the radar in its day. Why? They were great."
It's been quite a while since I've listened to rhythm and blues in such pure form, probably since the times of The Rolling Stones and The Who in their prime. Yes, undiluted R & B without other genres inclusions and other styles contamination, well, maybe a little bit of the punk aggression for which the album sounds even better and angrier. And as an album title suggests it would be right to suppose that The Godfathers concerned themselves with these four stages of human existence (Is the death a stage of human life?). "Been turned around till I'm upside down, been all at sea until I've drowned… And I don't need your sympathy there's nothing in this world for me. Birth, School, Work, Death". "My situation's in decline. My life's a bitter shade of blue, I drink to keep from crying, what else can I do". "And I'm the strangest boy that you've ever seen, and my future's past, already gone and been" - the band makes no faux pas so this brew doesn't taste out of date at all and is good taken straight no chaser.

Thanks for the Love Is Dead EP. It's nice to have this one.
Thanx for all the Godfathers.... last saw them in 2011 with 40 of my closest friends... turnout was disappointing but they were great!
Thanks for the Love Is Dead EP. - Stinky
Hello, can somebody help me with Bob Gaddy (Ace Records)? . Thank you in advance.
They were booked in the 80's in a small joint calling itself the "Odd Rock Cafe" (suburban Milwaukee WI USA).
They showed up to the gig-when they saw that there was almost no one one there they cancelled & went on their way (presumably Chicago, IL)
