Rosemary's Babies


So it's Halloween, and I figured a post to commemorate the spookiest of holidays was in order. Since the band most associated with this time of year is already on here (rhymes with Dispits), I figured the next best thing would be a band closely associated with them, but not discussed nearly as much. Plus, they take their name from one of the greatest movies ever made (Rosemary's Baby) and dressed like the ultraviolent characters in A Clockwork Orange, which definitely gives them bonus points.

Rosemary's Babies were a four-piece hardcore punk band from Lodi, New Jersey that began in 1980 and broke up in 1983. They played a brand of punk very similar to early DC bands such as Minor Threat and Bad Brains, with a hint of Circle Jerks thrown in the mix. Additionally, they were quite reminiscent of The Misfits, who the band were closely acquainted with (both were from Lodi and had a penchant for horror). Rosemary's Babies drummer was none other than Eerie Von, who was a photographer for The Misfits, and also did a lot of the overdubs on posthumous Misfits compilations along with Glenn Danzig. He was also a major member of Glenn's post-Misfits bands as a bassist, including all of Samhain and the first four (and most essential) Danzig records. To get back to Rosemary's Babies, they only released one 7" in 1983, titled Blood Lust. In 2004, a CD compilation was released including all but one track off of Blood Lust, in addition to other recorded tracks and live material. That's what I have below. So enjoy, and Happy Halloween!

    Omg digitally the anti-christ are so weak in the fight of staying around longer than the inevitable fate of a unending torture for eternity and even with AI and cameras and microphones with all the knowledge they have NO understanding or wisdom in the most important and most valuable lesson they should obtain, they just don't have the spirit to understand, I get it, they Love money and the roots to that bring about all types of evils and what I'm so thankful to God for is having patience unending with me and I finally get it and I know them evil roots those sow that are Lovers of money, that are of the Father of lies are going to reap exactly what they sow, but there is hope still yet for those for He came to save ALL that no not one shall perish including those that are sucked in to the kingdom of Babylon and being tossed to and fro by the whole of Babylon herself(porn) oh and there's going be a special chamber of torture for those lost that perish with them stains upon their souls without being forgiven but if you can take heart and with a measure of Faith ask God forforgiveness you shall be made clean, spotless, and blameless before his sight, and may God bless All of those lost tob allowed to see the light through the darkness
