Hey! The Figgs are on Bandcamp!

We interrupt our regularly-scheduled programming to bring you this urgent public service announcement. The Figgs, one of the greatest American rock and roll bands of the past 30 years, recently made the bulk of their discography available on Bandcamp. This year marks 33 years of The Figgs being a band, and the only thing more impressive than their longevity is their sustained excellence. For obvious reasons, the Bandcamp page omits The Figgs' two major label releases from the mid-'90s. However, it does include the band's pre-major full-length tape Ready Steady Stoned, all of its albums released since 1998, and several compilations. It's very cool to be able to follow The Figgs from their scrappy lo-fi pop roots through their untouchable late '90s-early 2000s run to the highly ambitious yet remarkably high-quality turn they've taken over the past decade. You won't find a better songwriting tandem in modern-day rock and roll than Mike Gent and Pete Donnelly, and now the bulk of their output is just a few clicks away. If you've got a Figgs album or two in your collection, now is a great opportunity to explore the rest of the catalog. And if the Figgs are still a new band to you, clear your schedule for the next few hours and dig in!
