I've been struggling with this band ever since I started writing FLEX in 1988; time to give it another try in 2011 and just write a new review. The A side has a stomping drum machine, bass and some guitar chords, and of course Dangerhouse owner Dave Brown yelling his lyrics - it's rather a poetry session than a song, but I've got to admit that the lyrics are pretty cool. “Lon… text/html 2011-07-26T16:35:22+02:00 flx789xxx http://www.fuzzlogic.com/flex/doku.php/rec_norman_bates_the_showerheads_same_lp?rev=1311690922&do=diff Norman Bates & the Showerheads - same LP * desperate records. ra 217 / 12 tracks / 1989 * + lyric sheet. 2000 made. * Debut LP by the band from NYC.

Great title track, rough, cool & catchy punk rock with a gloomy edge. “Insect Lounge” is another cool punk tune, but without the intensity of the A side and with a slight new wave touch; “New Drug” is another dark, brooding punk rocker.
