ARCWELDER - PULL (1993)




















These guys really need no introduction.
Arcwelder was a 3-piece from Minneapolis, MN who put out some of the coolest Amrep sounding noise pop on (mostly) Touch and Go Records back in the 90s. They had a few earlier releases on Big Money Inc., before sliding over to T&G. To this day I can't believe they weren't bigger. My only explanation is...well...the 90s. There were alot of great bands back then, and they just got buried in the saturated 'cool music' market. For me, I'm kinda glad they stayed where they were, instead of signing that major label contract for 1 album, and then fizzling away.
This is their 3rd full length, and first on T&G. If you like Guzzard, Fugazi, Slint, Surgery, Drive Like Jehu, you'll be wanting to stuff this in your ear cavities.
