Live: Boston, 1964 & Philadelphia 1966 (1994) more music like this

Like the classic Los Angeles punk upstarts X, Mummydogs combine softer, clean guitar-driven paeans (including "Look at the People," which touches upon the Western blues hues similar to Exene Cervenka's outfit) with distorted riff-leading tracks, such as the spirited "Paul of the Jungle" and especially "Red Bandana." Coupled with the John Doe-like ...
