...I only saw these dudes once, at the Subterranean in Chicago. They played with Bloody Minded and Dropdead. My favorite moments of that show were:
1) [non-musically:] Being stuck in the pit behind some asshole whose bag had "Straight Edge" and "Fuck Marlboro" patches, but who bummed a cigarette off me, post-show.
2) [Musically]:
2a) Bloody Minded's brutal assault on all those idiot hardcore kids' tender, fragile ears.
3a) Artimus Pyle's unrelenting, brooding deluge of heavy, growling hardcore. If the atrocities of Abu-Ghraib had a voice, it would be this LP.
Relax/have a drink! Prank did a second pressing of the LP, BUY IT! Jensen, the drummer, went on to form Iron Lung. Robert's now in No Statik, among many other projects.
*I can't remember what year this was released. I'm saying 2004 because this band really sums up the Bush years for me: brutal, grinding, and dark as the night. *
*EDIT, 9.9.12: Reup is HERE. *
