Demented Punk unveiled the debut music video from the chart topping two-hour demented punk extravaganza Dr. Demento Covered in Punk. The album features an eclectic mix of artists from the world of classic and contemporary punk/indie/alt-rock, along with special guest stars from film, TV and more. This audio oddity is a modern-day homage to radio icon Dr. Demento, a world-renowned institution who has championed novelty music and its creators since the 1970s, available now at both physical and digital retailers. A full track listing can be found HERE.
The music video, produced by John Cafiero (of the band Osaka Popstar)—who also produced the album itself (and performs the “Covered in Punk” theme song heard at the conclusion of the video), can be viewed online now in its entirety via the Demented Punk YouTubechannel.
A much talked about track on “Dr. Demento Covered in Punk” is what Rolling Stone called a “growlingand expertly melodramatic” version of the Cramps “Garbageman” performed by pop culture icon William Shatner. Demented Punk is set to commemorate that culture-clash with the release of an amazing 18” x 24” screen-printed poster suitable for framing. The edition, limited to 300 prints worldwide, showcases a mind-blowing illustration by artist Stephen Blickenstaff commissioned specifically for ”Dr. Demento Covered In Punk”. The all-new design created in homage to Blickenstaff’s original 1984 “Bad Music for Bad People” cover art, beams in the likeness of the legendary Shatner in place of the late great Cramps front man Lux Interior. 300 hand-numbered prints will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, 100 of which have been personally autographed by William Shatner. The limited edition screen-print will be available exclusively at the Demented Punk online store starting 1pm EST on Friday July 20—while supplies last.
