Give full credit to Sal Canzonieri and the guys from Electric Frankenstein — they took the Misfits’ horror-meets-punk n’ roll ethic and ran with it. Every Electric Frankenstein single, EP, and album is its own collectible. Not only for the music, but for cover art as well, many of them designed by renowned poster and outsider artists. Case in point, the Listen Up, Baby! 10″ EP released by Frank Kozik’s Man’s Ruin label back in 1998. Kozik ran Man’s Ruin as one-half art project, one-half indie label that focused entirely on hard-hitting punk, stoner rock, doom, heavy rock, sludge, psych-rock, and whatever else suited his fancy. In some ways, Kozik and Electric Frankenstein were the perfect match. Maybe that’s why this EP has always been my favorite piece of work from the band. Stellar cover art by Kozik and some of EF’s best songs including the title track, “Neurotic Pleasures,” and “Social Infections.”
