Psychefunkapus - Skin (1991)


This is the band's second record...another appalling cover, and it's straight to the bath tub of bubblegum funk. Psychefunkapus have one of the worst names in music and to go with it they play that irritating, grating style of spastic funk metal which gave us the talents (!) of Scat Opera, FFW, yawn...I can't even list them. Summery, stupid, migraine-inducing, face-pulling, cartoonish, made up funk metal. Silly clothes, swirling colours, and stoooopid track titles such as 'Surfin On Jupiter' - gimme a break! Totally bereft of class, charisma or brain, it's no wonder funk metal lasted as long as Hubba Bubba gum in the mouth. Included on this blog because funk metal was very much part of metal in the late '80s and early '90s, and however tragic it was, I was there!
