„The idea to record an album of all cover jams with a certain theme is nothing quite new. The original title for this album was gonna be „Throw Ups“ as an homage to the DAVID BOWIE „Pin Ups“ album also of covers. Although throw ups is only two syllables, I need six, I guess I could´ve called it throw downs throw outs throw ups, but that would be just fucking stupid. Similar to the aforementioned transvestite genius musician I just wanted to record some songs by bands who shared the same sights, sounds and sewage of my region of birth. Some of these tunes you may have heard, some you may have not. So please do yourself a favor and check out the original versions…if you want to transform into a total fucking slimebag that is !“
