Bad Mood Guy

Bad Mood Guy is the seventh studio album by the Australian experimental group Severed Heads, first released in 1987. Upon its initial release, the album met positive reviews with critics, one in particular referring to it as "punishing pop with crunching rhythms".^[3] The album's lead single "Hot With Fleas" did well on independent radio stations, even peaking at #4 on Rockpool's dance charts during the week of December 31, 1987.^[4]
