v/a - 11: an escape artist records compilation

released 2001

grAy's posting of the craw album down yonder reminded me of this compilation

this was originally posted over on CGB (speaking of which...it sent me a postcard recently...apparently it's started a family and has moved to mexico and started something called THE CGB FAMILY DONKEY SHOW EXTRAVAGANZA)

but i digress

seeing as how some of the bands found on this comp have had their names dropped hither and thither on SGM...you could very well enjoy this

let's find out

1 - playing enemy - the closer to caesar
2 - burn it down - ten percent of the law
3 - isis - collapse and crush
4 - time in malta - dissolve
5 - anodyne - lucky sky diamond
6 - keelhaul - enervate
7 - anodyne - coriolis acceleration
8 - playing enemy - insomnia ohio
9 - la gritona - prawn flavor
10 - burn it down - every man's got a devil
11 - craw - chop shop
12 - time in malta - moment of clarity
13 - 27 - april
14 - isis - poison eggs
15 - burn it down - snakes in the garden
16 - burn it down - 1000 tiny wounds
17 - sweetness - pH
18 - isis - gentle time

Craw - 405/Stomp 7"

Label: Choke Inc
Year: 1993

This was one of those records that I saw the cover (in MRR no doubt), and knew immediately, it would speak to me in some way shape or form. Turns out, it did, and continues to every time I play it.
If you have more than a passing interest in this blog, then surely, you have already been indoctrinated into the Cult Of Craw. But, if somehow, you've missed it, and you don't know this band, just imagine a band that has managed to make every instrument they play a percussive weapon. That's about it.
Both of these songs ended up on the first full length, but these are different versions, recorded earlier.

carusella - self-titled

released 2008

i just recently found out that the band had split up

after 3 years together and this album

you may remember that they'd taken a mini tour of the states last year...so hopefully you were lucky enough to see them

so i'm re-posting this

get reacquainted

and for those of you that don't know about the band...i'll just go on ahead and say what i said the first time:

"this guy (drums/vocals) and girl (guitar/vocals) duo from tel aviv (that's in israel...learn something new everyday) kick out some noise that fans of such bands as jucifer...the melvins...and even the white stripes can dig on

the vocals are split up between the two...he sings most of the heavier songs...bringing it into helmet territory

her vocals go into an off-kilter kim deal/amber valentine/nico direction

and they're fans of the jesus lizard...shellac...and fugazi...so they have to be decent folks"

DL: carusella

rough rope - demos and wizards

released 2011

one night...cherubs...drunkdriver...flipper...hawks...and the melvins were all hanging out together

and they all drank some punch

and they all passed out

and then some stuff happened

and then 9 months later...this was born

DL: demos and wizards

big black - way hap ultimate rarities

released ?

big black

no explanation is needed here...right?

right?

ok.

this is a bootleg compilation of demos and live stuff and compilation songs

you also get to hear some pre-big black steve albini in a band called stations (something tells me that steve might've hung out with al jourgensen back in the day)

DL: disc 1
DL: disc 2

venomous concept - retroactive abortion

released 2004

seeing as i mentioned venomous concept in the previous primate post...why not post them,right?

so what you get here is something akin to bands like: poison idea (who the band somewhat took their name from)...early napalm death (they share guitarist shane embury and drummer danny herrera)...millions of dead cops...reagan youth...

you get the idea

also...the melvins' buzz osbourne was a member of the band (well...for this album at least)

DL: retroactive abortion

primate - draw back a stump

released 2011

this is what happens when some members of some bands that some of you around SGMville may or may not be familiar with

bands with names like: brutal truth..mastodon..the despised..the bloody sods (admittedly...i hadn't previously heard of the last 2 before this)

if you're familiar with frontman kevin sharp's other band (venomous concept)...then you know what you're going to get into with this business

some punk

some hardcore

you even get a black flag cover ("drinking and driving")

that just about sums it all up
