Head – A Snog Of The Rocks – Vinyl Record
Head’s A Snog on the Rocks, released in 1987 by Demon Records, is the debut album from this eclectic English rock band. The album showcases a unique blend of pop rock, incorporating elements of sea shanties, traditional folk, and rock ‘n’ roll, resulting in a sound that is both unpredictable and engaging.
The band’s lineup features Rich ‘Clevedon Pier’ Beale on lead vocals, Gareth ‘Hank Sinclair’ Sager on guitar and keyboards, Nick ‘Candy Horsebreath’ Sheppard on guitar, S.M.T. on bass, and Plastic Bag on drums. Notably, James Fearnley, known for his work with The Pogues, contributes accordion to the album, adding a distinctive texture to the band’s sound.
The album was recorded at Beethoven St. Studios and mixed at Guerilla Studios, with Rico Conning handling the mixing duties. The production captures the band’s dynamic range, from upbeat tracks like ‘Out on the Natch’ to the soulful rendition of ‘Me and Mrs. Jones.’
A Snog on the Rocks has been praised for its inventive approach and genre-blending style. A Snog on the Rocks remains a testament to Head’s innovative spirit and their contribution to the late 1980s rock scene, offering a listening experience that is both nostalgic and refreshingly original.
