The Powers That Be - Crude Morning Mother. Amphetamine Reptile Records Scale 48.

Blimey, Charlie, it's an AmRep band from MANCHESTER, ENGLAND??  Bucking the trend for dancey wancey sub-Roses, post-Mondays, under par Madchester drivel, The Powers That Be played buzzy, droney, smokey almost-metal in the early 90s. Sometimes seen at The Boardwalk, one of them worked in a bank and the vocalist affected an American accent when performing. That's about all I can remember about them. apart from the fact that they were all nice fellas and they stood out like a thumb as big as Uma Thurman's in Even Cowgirls Get The Blues. Rave on.

Halo of Flies - Human Fly. Power-Fist Record Co. Bootleg 7".

This is a bootleg of a single released by Forced Exposure magazine. It's not clear if the short version of 'Ballad of Extreme Hate' which is included on this release was on the original or not. The song isn't mentioned on the sleeve of either and it appears the band's discographers have chosen to take the record sleeves as gospel rather than Listen To The Fucking Record. If you have the original version, please put me out of my misery and let me know.
