Record Store Day 2023

<p>Groundhogs were an English blues and rock band founded in late 1963. They achieved prominence in the early 1970s and continued sporadically into the 21st century. Tony McPhee, on guitar and vocals, was the sole constant member of the group. Despite many personnel changes, they usually recorded and performed as a power trio. The band remained active from 1963 until retiring in 2014.</p>

Available for the first time on vinyl since 1976, pressed on silver wax and featuring a limited edition foil embossed sleeve with extensive liner notes. Crosscut Saw sees the reformed Groundhogs with second guitarist Dave Wellbelove, sparring with the legendary Tony McPhee. “Musically I’d gone back to the basics,” McPhee told Sounds, the addition of a doodle of synth and a second guitarist notwithstanding. As a result; “Riffs galore permeate.” (AllMusic). A suitably explosive prog-pleasing follow up to 1992’s ‘Who Will Save The World’ and ‘Hogwash’ rekindling the fire of the blues in a new, heavy progressive setting, all set for a new guitar-powered age.
