A new year, a new special music segment designed to subvert your ears from the norm and introduce you to the Best Bands You’ve Never Heard In Your Life.
The Edgar Broughton Band is certainly one of the Best Bands You’ve Never Heard in Your Life. Or have you?! The Edgar Broughton Band hails from the quaint English town of Warwick on the Avon River, starting out as a blues band in 1968. They soon incorporated a psychedelic bent to their sound and signed with Harvest Records, home to such classic artists as Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Move, Focus, Soft Machine, and The Pretty Things.
As with the band, The Fugs and even the Mothers of Invention, The Edgar Broughton Band started becoming known for their radical anarchist and anti-establishment politics and therefore are sometimes know to be “punk before it was punk.”
Why have you never heard them? I don’t know. But since it’s my specialty to perk your little ears up to new things that rock, you’re going to hear them now! The song I’ve got for you is from their 1971 eponymous third album and most successful album…it’s the Edgar Broughton Band, with ‘Madhatter’…
You won’t be spinning these albums on your turntable, but after you fall in love with these downloads, you’ll be looking for the vinyl copy…
