Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Groundhogs were a British blues-rock band that started playing in the late 1960s. Tony McPhee handled lead vocals and guitar, with various rhythm sections including Peter Cruickshank on bass and Mick Cook on drums in their early years. Their debut album 'Scratchin' the Surface' came out in 1969 and featured 'Cherry Red,' which became their best-known track.
They put out several albums in quick succession, including 'Blues Obituary' and 'Thank Christ for the Bomb' in 1970, followed by 'Split' in 1971. The band's sound had a raw, electric quality, with McPhee's guitar work and vocals giving songs like '3744 James Road' and 'Eccentric Man' their distinctive edge.
By the early 1970s, the lineup had shifted, with Dave Anderson taking over on bass and Ken Pustelnik on drums. They released 'Hogwash' in 1972, which captured some of their live energy. The Groundhogs kept recording through the mid-1970s, with songs like 'Darkness Is No Friend' and 'Earth Shanty' showing their continued exploration of heavier rock themes.
