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.

GIANT HENRY - BIG BABY (1991 / 2013)

This Giant Henry album smokes!

A 2013 reissue of this 1991 release basically finds us looking at a pre-Unwound post hardcore band.
This features members that were in Unwound (duh), as well as Young Ginns, Worst Case Scenario, Fitz of Depression, Replikants, and Surviaval Knife.

This basically sounds like a mix of Unwound and early Nirvana. You need this!!

UNWOUND - PEEL SESSIONS (1998)

5 words...Unwound Peel Sessions Fuck Yeah
This was recorded for BBC DJ legend John Peel during their Challenge for a Civilized Society tour.

3 songs here: "Side Effects of Being Tired" and "Hexenszene" from New Plastic Ideas, plus "Kantina/Were, Are and Was or Is" from Fake Train.

Mandatory rock.

Apparently Numero Group is releasing this on vinyl, but I don't know any other info about it.

YOUNG GINNS - YOUNG GINNS (1993)

So this was an indie / punk / noise rock project formed by members of Unwound and The Nation Of Ulysses. Badass right? They were digging the punkrawk sounds of SST Records and figured that if young writers were called "Young Ginsburgs" then they'd call themselves "Young Ginns" (in reference to SST head honcho Greg Ginn). Clever eh? If you know Unwound, Nation of Ulysses and stuff from SST, then chances are you know what you're getting here. This link is the full discography, but I like the artwork from the 7".

UNWOUND - REPETITION (1996) + 2 SINGLES (1992 - 1993)

I feel like Unwound needs no intro or description. But the kids are getting younger and are finding 'new' stuff. And every once in a while you run into someone who is like "Unwound? No, don't know 'em". Whaaaaaaaa?!?! Sooooo, while I still care about giving band descriptions for blog purposes:

From the Olympia WA area, Unwound made alot of noise and recorded a bunch of albums and singles. They are know for heavy bass lines, unusual feedback-frenzy guitars, dissonant and angular. Repetition is the bands 5th record. Kill Rock Stars 1996
