Fork - Fork

 

Label: Medical Records

Year: 1994

The original mission of this blog, if I may be so bold, was to highlight long forgotten gems of loud and unpopular music, that you would most likely be interested to hear. Assuming you got to this dank recess of the interweb in a purposeful manner, and not by accident. 

So, per that mission, may I submit to you, Fork. A three piece, Arizona based noise rock behemoth that came and went with only three releases to their names, but they were three massively great demonstrations in "the ugly arts". If you were a big fan of the middle and latter periods of Mama Tick's oeuvre (and...pull it fucking together...show Mama Tick some goddamn respect!), then you'll get it. Nothing polished, everything bleeding out, volume uber alles. 

Two thirds of the band went on to form Tomsk-7, and then went on to do all sorts of bands that I've never heard of. (cut me some slack!) This one is essential if you never heard it.
