about

Evan’s voice says “Ed knows how to play it” and then Ed’s fuzz-guitar comes roaring in. There is a nice blathering lead vocal by David. Evan screams “Let it out, let it out!”, apparently egging him on. It ramps up to victorious screaming “Release him! Save him!” David moans and gibbers right up to a nice clean ending. I suspect the title was something that David and I came up with together. The “Throbbing” part was a reference to Genesis P. Orridge’s group, Throbbing Gristle. I’m not sure why we felt this was tip-of-the-hat to Throbbing Gristle, but my memory is that Throbbing Gristle was an awful lot of wild noise and we admired them. This originally appeared on the cassette "Sunday Monday Or Always" and was credited to the faux-group The Have Mersey Beats.
