Erazerhead: Rock 'N Roll, Ramones Style

Erazerhead were four Ramones fans from the UK who played goofy punk-rock in the early 80's. Like the Ramones, Erazerhead have a cartoonish quality to their sound and image. Their 3-chord music rocks hard and buzzes fast without deviation, and their lyrics are child-like and boyish: "You can't come around my house, you can't see my pet mouse" (from "All For Me").

"Rock N Roll Zombie" is a near carbon-copy of the Ramones' song "Rock N Roll High School," but if you're going rip someone off, it might as well be legends like the Ramones. However, there is one difference between the two, "Rock N Roll Zombie" features more of a garage-rock/surf flare.

Hear more rockin shit at Worthless Trash. Erazerhead's records are rare, but I'm sure you can cop some on Ebay.
