Battered Wives "Ugandan Stomp" ep

The "Uganda Stomp" is battered Wives first ep. The ep came out on Bomb Records. The song makes a reference to the old Sun single "Ubangi Stomp" by Warren Smith. The number is deliberately offensive in the punk tradition and uses some reggae. The song is about former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin and the band gave a copy of the single to the Ugandan embassy. The B-Side is a song called "Giddy" which was never released on other vinyl but did get released on the CD version of "Cigarettes". Check out Short Sharp Kick in the Teeth for a download of the ep.
