Lil Mike saw Rats Ass & crew of starvin rockers live on tour back in the 80's, and that furious sweaty buzz ball of a basement set has stayed with me. Finally, 40 yrs later have the LP to match the sounds etched in my skull like a rabid crossbreed of The Germs fightin' Aerosmith in an alley over the world's last bag of dope Favorite track: Ozzy.

about

Often cited as a major influence on the key bands of the grunge era (Nirvana, Melvins, Mudhoney etc.) Tales Of Terror‘s one & only LP is an overlooked classic of 80s NorCal punk rock.

Available for the first time in more than 30 years, Kurt Cobain‘s 32nd-favourite-album-of-all-time is chaotic and charismatic in equal parts; the band’s story is tinged with tragedy, but the music they played was life-affirming.

Wild, heads down proto thrash metal meets punk excess; think early Guns n’ Roses meets Iggy at the bar from a band whose trajectory was cut short after the death of guitarist Lyon Wong in 1986.

A cobweb dispersing buried treasure that stands alongside the debut of The Damned and draws a shaky line through grunge to At The Drive In and way beyond. A super rare release, unavailable for over 30 years; remastered and ready to be cranked up to full volume.

“Mid-tempo driving grunge rock that gets pretty chaotic” reported Flipside

Sonic Youth is one of those bands where you easily run out of superlatives to describe what they created. This could've easily come off as a cynical cash-grab by a band that had broken up 11 years prior to the release of this record, but that's not what this is. Some of my favourite Sonic Youth instrumentals. sentient meat

One of my favorite punk records. I don't think it's possible to write guitar riffs that are a better aural equivalent to a middle finger grahamy
