JABBERJAW - GOOD TO THE LAST DROP (1994)




















I realize this comp has been around on other blogs and such.
But fuck it! It's a killer compilation that continues to have the need to be played over and over.

Plus I was just reading about a book that came out about the club called "It All Dies Anyway: L.A. Jabberjaw, and the End of an Era" and it got me in the mood to hear this again.
So I'm sharing it cuz now you're thinking about it too. You're welcome.
Read this too.

LES SPRITZ - LES SPRITZ (2015)




















Les Spritz are from Messina, Italy...
They play a loud, chaotic and frantic style of instrumental pandemonium rock.
Similar to Dead, godheadSilo, and Lightning Bolt.
Like chewing on tin foil, while laying in a bathtub filled with water and toaster ovens and having an electric eel wrapped around you. Gaa-zaaap!

CRAIN - HEATER (1994)




















So that last Crain album got me thinking of this one.
Their 2nd and final full length, which I feel is their better album.
Some may argue. (...go on argue), but either way, you can't go wrong with these guys.

TEETH - THE STRAIN (2012)


















I've seen this floating around on other blogs. Its a great record. Not sure why I didn't have it here before.
Anyway, Steve Albini engineered this record. Cool enough.

But I wanted to point out that Albini was on Marc Maron's WTF podcast recently.
And in the conversation, he mentioned this being one of his personal biggest records. Because
apparently one of the members had cancer, and decided to record this album with the remaining time he had left to live. Powerful shit right?
Its a good interview...I suggest checking it out on the WTF site/app. And listening to the whole story.
It made me go back and listen to this album with a different perspective.
