New Music Tuesday: The Coneheads - 2015 - L​.​P​.​1. aka "14 Year Old High School PC​-​Fascist Hype Lords Rip Off Devo for the Sake of Extorting $​$​$ from Helpless Impressionable Midwestern Internet Peoplepunks L​.​P​.​"

The Coneheads are a punk rock band from Northwest Indiana. L​.​P​.​1. aka "14 Year Old High School PC​-​Fascist Hype Lords Rip Off Devo for the Sake of Extorting $​$​$ from Helpless Impressionable Midwestern Internet Peoplepunks L​.​P​.​ is their new LP courtesy of Erste Theke Tontraeger and that is the sum total of my knowledge about this band. The Coneheads play super fast brand of comically absurd punk rock. The vocals are either robotic monotone (the excellent cover of Talking Heads' Psycho Killer) or a high pitched, snotty shout (Notha Thang) while the subject matter of these hyper songs never strays from the absurd, the funny or science fiction.




They sound like Devo played at double if not triple speed or an even more manic Down Jones & The Industrials. These songs whip by incredibly fast implanting these hooks deep in your brain and compelling you to hit repeat. Highlights include Hack Hack Hack Variation 1, 1982, Violence, Way Things Am, I Used To Be A Cheesepuff and the aforementioned Notha Thang and cover of Talking Heads` Psycho Killer. If you're looking for some catchy, wacky, energetic punk rock The Coneheads' L​.​P​.​1. aka "14 Year Old High School PC​-​Fascist Hype Lords Rip Off Devo for the Sake of Extorting $​$​$ from Helpless Impressionable Midwestern Internet Peoplepunks L​.​P​.​ will serve well.
