The Bloodhound Gang is an American band which began as a hip-hop group that moved to rap-rock, before re-identifying themselves as an alternative rock band since the 2000's. They have had numerous lineup changes and members, but since the beginning they've been behind their singer and main songwriter Jimmy Pop, a pervert from Philly who loves to sing about sex, revenge, and toilet humor.They also happen to be one of my all-time favorite bands.For ten years (yes, TEN), the band has been talking about and teasing a new studio album, which finally came out in December 2015. Unfortunately, the album came out independently, and no one seems to know about it.I'm taking this opportunity to re-listen to every Bloodhound Gang release, review them, and educate the rest of the world on why they're one of the funniest and most perverted bands in American history.I honestly don't know why everyone doesn't love this band...

1. Bang Chamber 8 - Bang Chamber 8 (1991) (demo)



Well, you have to start somewhere. Jimmy Pop and Daddy Long Legs decided to start by releasing a self-titled demo under the name Bang

Chamber 8, and let me tell you, it's awful. It sounds nothing like the Bloodhound Gang, but it does sound like pre-written elevator music that Jimmy Pop and Daddy Long Legs make noises over. There are 8 tracks and the demo runs in at 15 minutes long, I'll let you do the math on that one.



It's awful, and it isn't even a Bloodhound Gang release, so why include it? Well, it does show the beginning chemistry of the two guys who would go on to be the front men for the Bloodhound Gang, so it's worth noting that it exists. Plus, they were pretty young, you can't grade it too harshly. The whole thing is on YouTube if you ever want to listen to it, but I can't recommend it.



But hey, Rome wasn't built in a day...

2 2. Bloodhound Gang Just Another Demo

Here we go, the first demo put out by the Bloodhound Gang. It too, is pretty awful. I say that with love. In all honesty, it's a lot better than Bang Chamber 8 and it does sound a lot more like the Bloodhound Gang, but they just hadn't quite found their sound yet. The biggest drawback from this demo is the delivery. It's a pretty straightforward hip-hop sound, but Jimmy and DLL deliver their rhymes in a nasally, nerdy, Beastie Boys-esque style. The nasally thing can work for the Beastie Boys, and it would even work on later BHG albums in short bursts, but this album is just too much.



This demo is also on YouTube if you want to check it out, but you aren't missing much.

3. The Original Motion Picture Sountrack to Hitler's Handicapped Helpers (1994)



The Bloodhound Gang put out yet another demo after their debut, but this is a much more refined demo that begins to show some progress. It contains only a few songs, just some reworked material from the previous demo, but it sounds like the group is actually *trying* at this point.

4 4. Bloodhound Gang Dingleberry Haze

Dingleberry Haze is the most official demo tape the Bloodhound Gang ever released. After finding a sound and releasing a couple demos that refined that sound, they were picked up by a small label and put out Dingleberry Haze. It's more of the same stuff as their previous releases. It contains songs and skits that would get used later on their first full-length release, so there's really no reason to check it out, aside from the fact that this demo's version of Coo Coo Ca Choo uses a sample from Sunshine of Your Love by Cream. It makes the song a lot better in my opinion, but they couldn't clear the rights to the sample on the official release.

5 5. Bloodhound Gang Use Your Fingers

Finally, after a bunch of demos and EPs, The Bloodhound Gang was signed to a major label and put out Use Your Fingers, their first full-

length album. While it's still a ways behind the best music they would put out, it's leaps and bounds better than their previous releases. The album contains a lot of re-recorded songs and skits from the previous demos, but that's okay because you've probably never heard their shitty demos and that's okay because now you can just listen to the polished versions.



Overall, I think this album is kind of annoying, but it has some shining moments; Mama Say, You're Pretty When I'm Drunk, One Way, and Rang Dang are those moments. The rest of the album is pretty forgettable.
