Buttercup Records has announced the release of a new 4 track 7inch from the HELLMENN titled "Mutant Surfer" that consists of previously unreleased material.

From Hellmenn frontman and revered artist Ben Brown:

"Front cover of the new Hellmenn 7” 4 track EP - Mutant Surfer - Available now at www.buttercuprecords.com - 4 cuts of absolute mayhem recorded between 1987 & 1992.

Take it from Tumbleweed front man Richie Lewis "The Hellmenn were amazing, their first two albums Herbal Lunacy and Bastard Sons of 10,000,000 maniacs were brutal, so loud, so distorted and their live shows were a rambling sonic mess. They were the ultimate Australian surf punk band, they were blonde, longhaired bongheads who knew how to rock.”
