Mudhead - Complete Recordings

Don't know much about these folks, but someone already uploaded this on youtube so you can hear and read info over here.

For some reason his version of this unofficial compilation is missing a track called Stare which exists in my version, so there it is. Overall pretty cool group, early noise rock with a psychedelic twang, lovers of the Surfers that's for sure. Deranged vocals and acidic guitars, shame the audio quality is only fair, otherwise I'd probably come back to them more often.

1-2 are from The Jumbo Sound Of Mudhead (1988),
3 from A Limited Gourmet Boxset Of The Unclean & Imperfect (1990), 4-7 from What Does God Say About It? (1987).
13 wasn't in when I got it, I added it myself, from a compilation called Live From Lawrence (1988).

Introverts - Twentieth Century

As always when I wanna post something, I google to check if it popped up on bandcamp or something. I found this suspicious looking bandcamp page, which has no audio on it, but leads to another, more dubious and fishy looking page, which I didn't click through. So if this is indeed by the smallest chance an official page, reach out and I'll delete the download link. But since it's probably not, I have to chuckle, cause who the hell is trying to scam and fish via bandcamp using the most obscure bands like Introverts.

Yes obscure is the name of the game here.
Fantastic tape by this group, playing their version of Flipper punk, you know the kind, the sloppy bass, sleazy attitude, the kind this blog always appreciate.
It's more likely they are from Cleveland, as the cover art states it was "conceived/recorded in Cleveland, Ohio Oct. 80 - Mar. 81.".
But they have strong ties with Houston- Ralf Armin (Culturcide) was a member, and this was released via C.I.A. Records. Also the correspondence address leads to Houston, so yeah, I don't know, maybe they moved to Houston or something.

1986 - Treason of the Heart review
Unsound Magazine, Volume 3 Number 1

There's actually another place Houston is mentioned, and that's in a review for their second cassette which I could never get my hands on ! So here we are again, with me on my knees pleading for someone to share something. Help us ladies and gentlemen, for we are looking Introverts - Treason of the Heart.
So if you got a rip of this one, or any other thing by the band, or just some more information or stories, do share.

Damn this blog is now a decade old. 

Not a bad run if you ask me. 

Talking to myself while writing this nonsense.
If you've followed this blog throughout this period,

Thanks, I truly appreciate it.

First Things First - Life Reducer

Follow up post.

Even more psych-noise rock than the first one, again Helios Creed and Terminal Cheesecake come to mind. The latter's dub vibes come also in the shape of the excellent dub jam title track (also made me think of Blind Idiot God).
