<p>Groundhogs were an English blues and rock band founded in late 1963. They achieved prominence in the early 1970s and continued sporadically into the 21st century. Tony McPhee, on guitar and vocals, was the sole constant member of the group. Despite many personnel changes, they usually recorded and performed as a power trio. The band remained active from 1963 until retiring in 2014.</p>

50th Anniversary reissue with Gatefold sleeve + Bonus tracks as a Download. A hugely influential album cited as the embryo for punk, grunge and beyond. Featuring epic 1970 concepts from this far reaching trio much praised by Underworld’s Karl Hyde, Captain Sensible, Stephen Malkmus and a host of others. ‘Thank Christ For The Bomb’ is a visionary tale of cold war fear, alienation and everyday drama. “This is a masterpiece!” New Musical Express // A thinking man’s rumination on alienation, the album is a game of two halves; side one tackling the thermo nuclear threat while side two traces riches to rags alienation in everyday London. First of a trio of ground-breaking albums that steered the band from the Blues into a heavier, more prog-based sound and a true reflection of their much-praised live sound.<br>
