Episode Notes

This week’s episode is brought to you by the colors: yellow, orange, and brown. The 8th volume of our deep dive into the trippy and groovy beginnings of the heavy stuff! Cut your lava lamp on, gaze at that blacklight poster through the haze of purple smoke, and join your favorite rock n’ roll grave robbers as they dig deep into the core of 70s Acid Rock n’ Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal. 

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This particular episode is planted firmly in the LOST category, as all of these recordings occurred between 1970 – 1973. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new in a genre and decade that you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know.

Songs this week include:

  1. Zoot - “Hey Pinky” from Zoot Out (1971)
  2. Head Over Heels - “Road Runner” from Head Over Heels (1971)
  3. Fresh Blueberry Pancake - “Hassels” from Heavy (1970)
  4. Wicked Lady - “I’m A Freak” from Psychotic Overkill (1972)
  5. Irish Coffee - “Can’t Take It” from Irish Coffee (1971)
  6. Light Of Darkness - “Movin’ Along” from Light Of Darkness (1971)
  7. Ancient Grease - “Mother Grease The Cat” from Women And Children First (1970)
  8. Jane - “Here We Are” from Here We Are (1973)
