Los Angeles – Hot on the heels of their electrifying version of AC\/DC\u2019s \u201cLive Wire,\u201d released earlier this year as part of the High Voltage Punk – A Tribute To AC<\/em>\/DC compilation that also featured tracks by UK Subs, 999, Fear, Skids, Anti-Nowhere League, The Vibrators, and more, Brighton\u2019s merry band o\u2019 misfits Peter And The Test Tube Babies release a full throttle version of The Rolling Stones\u2019 classic \u201cMother\u2019s Little Helper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally released in 1966 as part of their commercial and critical breakthrough album Aftermath<\/em>, \u201cMother\u2019s Little Helper\u201d showcased the burgeoning songwriting talent of the young Mick Jagger and Keith Richards while its subversive message, calling out the hypocrisy of upper-class drug users, cemented the Stones\u2019 credibility in the countercultural revolution. PATTTB\u2019s version strips the song to its bare essentials, a driving chord progression and a spitfire vocal melody that offers founding vocalist Peter Bywaters a chance to wax serious for a change and let his inner rabble-rouser take center stage. The result is a track that sounds as fresh and new as anything coming out of today\u2019s punk rock scene, which is no mean feat considering the band who created it have been in the game for over 4 decades!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founding guitarist Del Greening shares, \u201cWhen Cleopatra Records asked us to cover a Rolling Stones tune, Peter immediately picked their \u201860s classic ‘Mother’s Little Helper.’ It had a guitar riff that could be Test Tubed up, and Oi! at the end and it was about drugs. Perfect!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bywaters adds, \u201cA song about getting old and taking drugs. Sums us up to a T.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
