Limited edition of 500 copies. Highly recommended. It’s not every day that a true Memphis super group crawls out of the shadows, and one packed with these heavy hitters is even mor e difficult to explain. Formed out of the prolific triangle of Greg Cartwright and Jack Yarber (Reigning Sound / Oblivians / Compulsive Gamblers) with the wild card of Abe White (Manateees/True Sons of Thunder - BOTH IN STOCK and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!) at the helm, Hangin on a String is a ruthless Memphis punk serving delivered hot 'n raw around the edges. Making their debut at Gonerfest 2023, they tore a hole in an otherwise enjoyable afternoon like no other, and that same ruthless spirit comes across with the same ferocity here on their debut release. Full of messy hooks and bad ideas taken to the brink, LAUNDRY BATS fill the void of barrel-head rock’n roll left far too open for far too long. As ruthless as that sounds, the Stonesy swagger gives way to full-on BRASS, confirming their solid punk parameters are as confrontational as they are contagious.
