Burger Records Unveils New Track/Video from Timmy's Organism Upcoming LP
By: Tori Hartshorn Sep. 20, 2018
Burger Records recently announced the new album by Timmy Vulgar's band Timmy's Organism, and it's a beast. You can watch the Troma-inspired video for the first single, "Guzzle Gasoline", now (see Brooklyn Vegan premiere). Watch "Guzzle Gasoline" Video
Other Timmy Vulgar records started with gladiator-entrance tympani drums or advice to watch the skies, but Survival of the Fiendish (which comes out October 5th on Burger Records) starts with a motor turning over because-as learned from Road Warrior, a movie dissolved into Vulgar's veins-the only way to live is to live fast! Vulgar (guitar/vocals) made it in six months in spring 2018 with Jeff Giant (bass) and Blake DzBovverdz Hill (drums), two guys who?ve been the beating about-to-burst heart of the Organism for about three albums now, including one for Third Man and one for In The Red. "I've been on almost every single underground garage punk label there is" says T.V. proudly, and now he's the fresh meat on Burger. So maybe you already know this dude and what he can do-maybe you already bought one of his records. Good job! Your reward is this record. But the rest of you: learn now what it means to be Vulgar. The glitter slime, the giant fake Timmy Vulgar head that Timmy Vulgar wore as a mask over his own actual head, the octopus which Timmy Vulgar also wore on his head-that's all true. He's from Detroit, but not like Kiss "Detroit Rock City" Detroit. He's from the "Panic In Detroit" Detroit, the "Murder City" Detroit-he has a song about that here!-the dope-guns-and-fing-in-the-street Detroit. More exactly he's from Hamtramck, where he does the Panic In Hamtramck fest. Ask about it! But he also comes from ... not another planet, exactly, although he sure looks like it when he plays. ("I think I was abducted by aliens for a little while there," he shrugs. Call it a foreign-exchange program!) So how about Iggy's "Kill City"? Timmy Vulgar's been to his own Kill City. Crime's "San Francisco's Doomed"? The Pagans "Dead End America"? Vulgar's been there, too-the doomed metropolis, or the go-nowhere street where nobody lives. And the Weirdos "Solitary Confinement"? Testors "Madras Prison"? Vulgar busted outta both! He makes his music by instinct and inspiration, with a relentless sharks-keep-moving work ethic and a bone-deep dedication to making something individual and by sheer force of nature. His intimidating record collection, a global catalog of the aggressively uncategorizable-those are his tools, he says, and maybe his fuels, too. And he uses them to make Timmy Vulgar records. When you hear a Timmy Vulgar record, you will know it's a Timmy Vulgar record and nobody else's record.
Survival of the Fiendish is an extremely Timmy Vulgar record. Even more Vulgar! It's as Vulgar as Vulgar gets. And think of this record as a real-deal message from the underworld, by a person who couldn't deliver anything less. It's been almost twenty years and Timmy Vulgar is still the king of hard-to-make (and harder to fake) rock 'n' freak 'n' roll made from black light and white heat-too slippery and slimy and searing-hot to the touch to exist anywhere in known space but on a Timmy Vulgar record, like with Timmy's Organism or Human Eye or Clone Defects or even his first band Epileptix. He's been covered in bloodstains, killed by death, ripped from the crypt and sent back from the grave. He worked long and hard to get you this music. He went out into the dark and brought back fire. That's what must be done to survive.
