No chance a band that looks like that in 1989 isn’t awesome. And they were.

Confession: I have been known to take walks past the old Perkins Palace and dream of shows like this….

Zine ads were the best. So vital to discovering things.

Remembering when bands like Saigon Kick were hyped as being the next big thing after glam metal. They weren’t wrong. Should’ve been.

Also don’t be cursed with your lone hit being the least inspired song you recorded. They were so much more

For the obvious reasons in these times - but also never forget the greatness of the music scene

A week of crazy life stuff led me up the mountain to Kingman and Shady Grove Records (highly recommend if you are rolling down rt. 40)

Long long time want acquired. A U.S. Raven meets Motörhead. Right where I live

Incredible cover art

An album that is impossible to sit still while listening. Rocky George on this.

Somehow my OG cassette has survived all these years. For me, the only way to play it. This thing has seen some times

One of “my bands” from back in the day. The dual guitars were “too metal” for my skater/punk friends. “Too punk” for the metal crowd. Just right for me.

Somehow never got to see them live. No idea how that didn’t happen

Not long after I first heard the Flower Travellin’ Band, I discovered this. Mind further blown.

Love new discoveries. Always be discovering

Cheapie bin find

Damage - Jubilee O Kindness (1987)

A little new wave, some skate punk, a post punk sound lingering, a ska number. All thrown together. It completely works.

On board with calling this a flawless album. 5******

I hope Layne found peace. RIP

This is terrible news. RIP. Years back I won a contest he had (on his blog? maybe) asking for crazy music inspired ambitions. My submission was the many failed attempts to have a hightop fade (ala Big Daddy Kane) with the long hair in the back. A mullet fade! This led to a several year……...

I’d argue the opposite of the hype blurb. But still a good listen. It’s the MC5. Jams are kicked out

The thing that drew me to Last Crack initially was the fact the music press had no idea how to classify them.

I’m not sure the band being called Last Crack with an ass crack on the cover helped things

Three years later and the right push this would’ve been FNM big IMO

Hard to find an album so full of youthful yearning as Hang Time. The writing and delivery just pour worth the angst. In a good way

It’s quite possible I’ve actually done that with these albums...

Metallica - Kill’em All
Eric B & Rakim - Follow The Leader
Suicidal Tendencies - Join The Army
The Connells - Fun & Games
Raven - All For One
Nitzer Ebb - Showtime
If someone put $1,000,000 on the table and said you had to listen to one album on repeat for 48 hours straight…
what album are you risking your sanity for?

So it has now passed 32 years since the only time I ever was on a guest list *story in ALT

Archers Of Loaf “Icky Mettle” is in my top five #AltRock albums of the #90s …. Maybe even ever
