Among the Cop Shoot Cop's, Helmet's and Sonic Youth's was another band started up by three college friends, Lawn-Chair-Blisters. As cool as the name may have sounded back in '88, I'm really happy about the switch to Unsane. Technically not a correct word, but is any term more fitting to describe this band than being sane, but choosing not to exercise it?
The trio of Chris Spencer on vocals and guitar, Pete Shore on bass, and Charlie Ondras on drums, shamelessly fused abrasive noise rock and hardcore into a feedback-heavy melting pot of anger and frustration. The result was a distorted combination of furious drum barrages, thumping bass accompanying the wailing guitar and painfully howled and screamed vocalisations serving as the icing on the cake.
Like the whole record, loud and violent, the cover of a decapitated man managed to stir up some mixed emotions. Wearing a jacket of the Members only-brand, whose tagline just happened to be "when you put it on, something happens", the headless bloke goes to underline the absurd black comedy and anger of the band even further.
Hard, pissed off and catchy as hell, these boys piss vinegar and shit anchor chain. Enjoy!
