Album Notes & Community Reviews

An incredibly obscure and fascinating artifact of the British new wave era, Midnight Rags crafted a highly theatrical, darkly humorous pop-rock record with 'The Werewolf of London'. Drenched in B-movie horror aesthetics and quirky psychedelic pop arrangements, the album presents an eccentric, off-kilter sensibility that remains a prized discovery for deep-digging post-punk enthusiasts.
