The Harridans CD Inlay: Listen With The Harridans





The above image is a CD inlay for lo-fi post punk band "The Harridans". The album is called "Listen With The Harridans" as this is what they would like you to do, just as they did when they recorded it.

Even though the picture has in no way been altered, or indeed airbrushed for a more sleek and refined look to the classic harridan "Nora Batty's" face, it still does not alter her perfection for this CD inlay.

On this CD the songs are all centred around an imaginary inbred village full of mindless webfooted moronic spitefulls that exist within this imaginary world. The lyrical content is sardonic, full of venom, and scathing sarcasm, whilst the music itself is deliberately mocking of this hideous inbred village.

Stylistically the music is still in keeping with it's post punk/lo-fi approach, however there are elements of Country Rock, Avant-Garde, and experimental improvisations to keep the concept fused together.

The Songs contained on this CD are as follows:


1) Inbred Funk

2) Yokel Piece Of Shit

3) Concrete Pig

4) Sadistic Anorak

5) Chicken Fister

6) Boss Hog/Hog Castrator/Porkies Diner

7) White Trash Song

8) Brush Ballad
