Will be good to have digital versions of these!
Cosmic, punky, fierce and funky: Sgt Psycho’s Psolitary EP & Singles Club!
The great NFGS singles program 2024
Since the beginning back in the pre-grunge era of the 80’s, the members of Motorpsycho have loved the single: the 7’’ and the 10’’, the CD single and later, the digital single – no matter the format: nothing quite compares to the 3min-something kick of a good song played really well! It’s the aural equivalent of a one nite stand: one that avoids the burn, but hopefully gives you one hell of an itch!
Over the years, Motorpsycho has released a bakers dozen or so E.P.s,
a heap of 7’’ singles, CD singles and digital-only tasters for new albums. Some of these – chiefly the 90’s E.P.s – have been available for streaming outside of Norway forever, but not for Motorpsycho’s home base. This new series from NFGS aims to rectify this: it will collect all of these singles and rerelease them digitally on Bandcamp and other streaming platforms, one by one, every Monday, for as long as it takes, leading up to the ‘Dryhumpin’ for Dollars – Motorpsycho plays the singles’ festival tour Motorpsycho is undertaking in the summer of 2024.
Most of the pysical copies of these singles are long gone, but where there are left-overs, these will be made available on Bandcamp.
As long as NFGS has the right to release it and it had a cover, it’ll be out on Bandcamp, and just to keep things exciting, we’ve decided to forego a chronological order: a release from anywhere between 1994 to 2024 will magically appear online once a week over the next few months. The band is rediscovering their semi-forgotten past being involved in this, and they hope you will enjoy (re-)discovering all these cool releases too!
Welcome to Sgt Psycho’s Psolitary EP & Singles Club!
First release feb. 26th.Looks like 2 releases today: California EP and the Hyena/Bonny Lee single. And reasonably priced (€5 and €2)
This is going on here:
I’m very pleased with this development. Having been a relative latecomer, there are numerous releases I was unable to purchase. Admittedly, I managed to acquire a few through less legitimate channels, but it has always been my hope that the band would use their Bandcamp account to make some of the less easily accessible material available for download. Now I can start buying this stuff, add it to my collection, and put a few more pennies in the band’s bank account.
The one re-release I would really like to see is Child of the Future. I don’t generally buy vinyl, unless it comes with a CD or downloads. So, as well as the singles and EPs getting released, I’m hoping this great album will also be rereleased on Bandcamp.
+1
Thank you for releasing “The California” EP on bandcamp (btw, in Hi-Res 44.1kHz/24bit quality).
Fingers crossed for “Child of the Future”, “The Motorpnakotic Fragments” and “Here Be Monsters Vol.2”.Oh, I’ve pleaded on here for that Child of the Future release more than once before now! So, I’ve got to add my tuppeny-worth here! I have it on vinyl, but I want to be able to play it in different rooms or in the car. Ideally, I would love a CD to possess, but a digital version would certainly be a step in the right direction. I echo punknotyet’s other hopes too.
Glad to see The California EP get an airing. I bought it at the London show in 2017 but haven’t been able to play it due to record-player-in-storage issues. Weird hearing something for the first time that’s been sat within your eyeline for 6 years.
@punknotyet – YES! Fragments and HMB2 would also definitely be very welcome additions.
So even though the post states they will be released one by one every Monday, so far we’ve gotten two by two! Woop!
Wonder if (and really hope) Babyscooter, Have Spacesuit Will Travel and Lovelight will be part of this digital release..🤔

“This was Motorpsycho’s first ever release.
Originally released in an edition of 100 cassettes through Knall Syndikatet, later on vinyl through GLHS.
This is the first official digital release of this demo tape from 1990.”
