Boy do I wish the rest of the songs were here. We’re missing four but who was this band? Weird that they were on SST, since I don’t associate SST with this kind of music. Maybe that was the problem. This is college radio alternative/indie and it needed that kind of push. This sound wasn’t really played out yet, although I think it disappeared rather quickly but, man, some of it is terrific.
We don’t have enough to accurately judge, though. So much of this is instrumental live cuts and that just doesn’t show the whole story.
I liked what I heard.
