The Silencers - Cyclerific Sounds - Total Energy Records LP NER 3002

Here’s a fuzz-heavy instrumental beast which sounds like the grinding of teeth fed through a fuzz box and speeded up. It’s so buzzy it verges on parody. It’s Napalm Death to Davie Allan’s Black Sabbath. The same kind of thing but twisted, stretched and morphed into something substantially different.

It’s produced by fellow Detroiter Mick Collins, who cranks up the treble and kicks in the bass bins. It’s precisely That Kind Of Thing. No surprises, no shocks, just good solid instrumental mush. Enjoy.

The Gories - Gimme Some Money. Sub Pop Singles Club. Sub Pop SP134.

There were 4,500 copies of this pressed, according to Grunnen Rocks. Could this be The Gories best-selling single? A guaranteed market from Singles Club sales alongside eager bystanders like myself? Who knows? Anyway, that's enough questions. First post for a fortnight, but I have been busy busy busy so there's going to be a lot more of this stuff coming your way. Enjoy.

The Gories - To Find Out. Giant Claw GCS-005.

The inevitable Gories post. On beautiful shit brown vinyl and limited to 1000 copies, this release was on Australia's mighty Giant Claw, an offshoot of AuGoGo records. Illustration on the sleeve was by Kent Myers who used to produce a comic called Detroit! Murder City Comix, a few early copies of which passed through my hands back in the day. I got rid, so they couldn't have been that good. More Gories to come.
