WE ARE JUST AS WELCOME... (20TH ANNIV. EDITION)

Vocalist and rhythm guitarist Jarmo quot;JMquot; Mäkkeli comments: quot;We recorded the first demo (7 songs) on a winter weekend and thought we had something good going on. Sent it out to various labels and got rejected by all of them. Pretty pissed about the reactions we decided to prove them wrong and what they would miss out on.. We took a loan wrote some kick-ass songs and recorded them pretty fast and named the album »We Are Just As Welcome As Holy Water In Satan s Drink«. Then we sent out the finished album to just one label the legendary White Jazz Records. The day after we got a deal with them. The rest is history that s still in the making! Needless to say that we are really proud of our kick-ass punk rock n roll debut albumquot.. Smashed hammered drunk as a skunk - the story of my life? Nah well that´s how I remember (!?) the We Are Just As Welcome As Holy Water In Satan s Drink album. Someone brought a copy to a drinking session and - badaboom! Psychopunch goddammit! A great acquaintance that turned into an even better friendship album by album. Every hangover is bound to be good!quot; - Beef Bonanza (The Bonesquot;I ve known most of the guys in Psychopunch for many years and it was a great pleasure for me to be able to add some sweet Mellotron on their first album. Have had some real fun drinking with these crazy cats over the years. You can do it JM!quot; - Jonas Stålhammar (At The Gates/Bombs Of Hades) quot;If ever a diamond was found in the rough I found it with the first release and all thereafter with Psychopunch. In California White Jazz was putting out smokin releases but when I got a hold of WAJAWAHWISD all bets were off! I was hooked! Being able to do a split 7quot; with them was fucking tops! Man what else can you say but get em all now fuckers and turn it loud!quot; - Scott Wilkins (Verbal Abuse Electric Frankenstein Hollywood Hate).
