Jackdaw With Crowbar is a quirky, experimental indie band that came out of Leamington Spa in the mid-80s. They mixed punk, blues, weird homemade instruments, and a whole lot of chaotic energy. Their early gigs weren’t just music -they’d project Super 8 films while playing, so the whole thing felt like an art project as much as a concert.
'Monarchy Mayhem and Fi$hpaste' came out in 1987 as a 12-inch EP on Ron Johnson Records. It has four tracks: “The Night Albania Fell On Alabama,” “Siren,” “Crow,” and “Fourth World.” The songs jump all over the place stylistically -one track is practically shouted through a bullhorn, another leans into dub-style rhythms, and others slide into noisy, blues-punk territory. They had this really DIY vibe, to the point where early slide guitars were literally made from gate posts, which definitely adds to their raw, scrappy sound.
The EP was one of their first proper releases and helped establish their reputation in the underground UK scene as a band that didn’t sound like anyone else. Copies of the record are pretty hard to find now, and collectors hunt them down whenever they turn up.
