Just put out a new single. First new release in 25 years. Got me wondering if any of y’all are/were familiar with them. One of my favorite bands of the late 80s/early 90s alternative underground. Definitely on the noisier side of that genre but they still had the songs to anchor the carnage. Just great, hard hitting, bass heavy punk-ish records that had way more discernible songwriting than your average punk/noise rock band. The new song isn’t quite equal to their peak years (91-94) but it makes me happy they’re still going for it, and David Yow still sounds like a drunken maniac on the mic.



Probably my favorite of theirs:



Might get anchored quick cuz they weren’t the most popular but I still wanted to ask.

fricking awesome band! Last saw in 2017 at the Metro in Chicago.. I love their Albini recordings, but you gotta see them live!

Was kinda bummed that they are only playing a festival (of sorts) this time in Chicago at The Salt Shed... Warm Love Cool Dreams..

They never clicked for me though I did have the cd with the dog falling out of the sky on the cover.

Saw them around 1990. Can't believe he's still alive.
