   About Welfare Mothers
Welfare Mothers Long Brown Hair 7" (Welfare Mothers) Two cool grooves here: "Long Brown Hair" captures that 70s power pop sound back when it still rocked a bit and was devoid of sacless Beatle-booted future lawyers and garbage like The Knack. It's that semi-solid ground between Twinkeyz glam-punk and punkish rock like the Only Ones, though those names are bit to heavy to drop on these, uhhh, moms. "Bloodsucker" is a deceptive bastard. Posing as some meat & potatoes Cap't 9's puggishness, the guitars freak in that Modern Lovers' "I am a little too tightass to totally wig out but I'll give it my all" kinda freak, which, in this case, is fine & d. as it sounds like a real freak, not some peg in the hole pose. Cherry debut with punch production by Tim Kerr. —SS

Man, you boys forgot to give me a 7" this weekend. And I bet you also forgot to add to the liner notes: "Thanks to the LD for her hospitality during the recording of of this amazing record.
Without her there wouldn't be any welfare mothers"
