Happy Flowers

With 1987s My Skin Covers My Body and the following years I Crush Bozo, the Happy Flowers found a growing audience within the ranks of the U.S. hardcore community. With 1989s Oof, their music grew slightly more accessible -- scattered amongst the usual fare like Theres a Soft Spot on the Babys Head and Charlie Said the F-word Again were attempts at the blues (Aint Got Nothin) and even a surprisingly melodic cover of Yoko Onos Mrs. Lennon. 1990s Lasterday I Was Bad was even more straightforward, with renditions of Big Stars Thirteen and UFOs I Dont Want to Share mixed in with the likes of If This Gun Were Real (I Could Shoot You and Sleep in the Big Bed With Mommy) and I Shouldnt Have Eaten That Stuff.
