Spinal Tap Is Back

First new album since 1992

Share

(Newser) – Smell the glove one more time, guys. Spinal Tap is making another comeback. David St. Hubbins, Derek Smalls, and Nigel Tufnel, who became mock rock legends in the 1984 mockumentary, This is Spinal Tap, are recording their first new album since 1992, reports the Sun. It will be on sale and available for download later this year.

God, please let there be a sequel...! Phenomenal film!!! Tap’s last album was 'Break Like The Wind,' in 1992. Something else in the mocumentary genre that's an absolute must, 'In Fear Of Black Hats.' Comes with my promise, you'll be crying from laughing so hard (over the top adult content / situations)!!! Reply

'Fear of a Black Hat' (1994) - A mockumentary chronicling the rise and fall of a not particularly talented--or particularly bright but always controversial--1990s hip-hop group, NWH (Niggaz with Hats).

And upon completion of that... Move on the Canadian series, 'Trailer Park Boys.' Seven seasons of raunchous, at times an almost indescribable, hilarious visioning of dysfunctional trailer park life and their inhabitants. Directors commentary sprinkled lightly about the series, are extraordinary insights, illuminating the backstory / conceptual aspects.
