'Heavy on
th' Gunk 1' Cassette (dihd)
This is a
tape comp of garbage rock / noise groups spanning the US east coast from
Florida all the way up to New England.
Most of the bands use super lo-fi / fucked recording methods...like
straight to boombox or glitched-out broken shit. KANG BUCKET sounds like a budget version of
that old Nintendo game, F-Zero. FAT
YOUTH played noisy-ass hardcore. HUMAN
ADULT BAND blasts out a circulating grunge-style riff while some maniac howls
over it. It's a true assault on the
eardrums (in a good way) from the lowest of lo-fi noise. It also includes TRANSIT MOTHER, HAVES AND
THIRDS, RUSSIAN MAGNETS and LOCAL TEEN.
Top quality bullshit. (9 songs
cassette, lyrics not included)

Compilation
of what I assume to be New Jersey bands with connections to the long-running
Human Adult Band. Almost impossible to
know, of course, but the music ranges from a drunken semi-acoustic blues
readymade and femme-throated volk moves to minimal electronics and the fully
juiced avant garage raunch-skronk for which The Human Adult Band are
known. Proof of life in the Greater New
Brunsiwick region. Again.
