Pop melodies with punk attitude and psychedelic delivery. It could have been chaos but, well, sometimes is was chaos. But it was glorious chaos and a full share of really good music. Welcome to
All Hash and Cock - The Very Best of Bachelor Pad. The creators are the five-piece
The Bachelor Pad, a Glasgow band that swam against the C86 current of their era. Their tunes and choruses actually were more melodic and catchy than much of the guitar pop of the day, but eschewing a twee delivery likey limited their reach. They deserved better, and thanks to the good folks at Emotional Response Records, they live again in digital and vinyl formats. It is an unexpected throwback treat that sounds better with each spin, and you can't say that about most of your purchases, can you?

This sounds like exactly the kind of reissue that can make you wonder how a band slipped under the radar in the first place. I like the contrast between catchy pop melodies and a rougher, more chaotic delivery. I’d check https://retrozinos.nl to hear how their sound compares with other Glasgow bands from the same era. Sometimes those overlooked records age much better than the releases that were more successful at the time.
