The Dummies/Gargoyles split: now available in the U.S.!


Fans of budget rock and lo-fi trash, lend me your ears. Late last year, I reported on a truly incredible development: a 2021 vinyl release featuring vintage 1990s cuts from two legendary bands: The Dummies and Gargoyles. Released by Re-Ken/Ken Rock Records, this split features The Dummies' blistering garage punk anthem "Roundtop Rock" and Gargoyles' Stoogey thumper "Five Million Years To Earth." I cannot emphasize enough how important of a band The Dummies were to Central Pennsylvania punk rock and '90s garage punk in general. Your Dummies collection is not complete without this split! I promised that ordering information would be provided when it became available, and today it is my pleasure to share some news! Sgt 6 himself is selling the record here in the States. He's doing a package deal of the 7" plus a newly-pressed Dummies t-shirt for $24 post-paid. Now that is a deal and a steal! If you're interested in purchasing this combo, you can email Sgt 6 for further details. For your listening pleasure, the YouTube clip for "Roundtop Rock" has been embedded below -- and is soon to be embedded in your skull for a glorious eternity.
