Boltcutters & beer
I’ve heard that Vomit Launch got together as an excuse to drink beer and chose a suitable name for that sort of hobby. The band was never great but they came really close a few times. The band released 4 LPs, some singles and a few cassettes between 1985 and 1992. There are some very pretty moments on all of the records, the best being a cover of “Block Of Wood” that tops the original by the Bats.
The band released a live-in-the-studio 7” called BOLTCUTTERS & BEER on their own Mad Rover label in 1991. It was the first Vomit Launch record I ever bought, I liked it enough to hunt down the earlier (and better) albums. It’s never been re-issued or released on CD. There are three originals (including the band's theme song) and an interesting choice for a cover song. The band sounds like they had had a few beers that night. A couple of CDs are still available.
The band's bass player Larry Crane has been busy with other projects, you can read a lot more about him here.
