Corrosion of Conformity - St Louis Flyer, 28 September 1987
AMEBIX released their first 7", Who's the Enemy, on this day in 1982 through Spiderleg.
...when we started, we never thought 'Wow, this sounds really different to everybody else!' It was only when we started getting letters through saying 'You're fucking brilliant' and this sort of thing, that we started thinking fucking hell! You know? Dick Lucas / Subhumans interview, Sounds 22 January...
I thought it was a bit strange that Peel was so keen on our track, because there were much more established and capable bands on the record, like Glaxo Babies, Joe Public and The X-Certs. I spoke to John for the first time, a few years ago, pointing...
THE DAMNED released their debut LP, Damned Damned Damned, on this day in 1977 through Stiff. [Neat Neat Neat] was the track where I thought we had something really different. I always thought it had a really good groove, with the snaky bassline. It's kind of slippery. Dare...
...and do I believe in anything? That was me just questioning myself. A lot of songs are just self-questioning put on paper. Um, what's my reason for existence? Good question. Just to keep questioning things, oddly enough-to keep wondering, to keep being surprised by things, both negative and...
YELLOW MACHINEGUN released their fourth album, Bean Ball, on this day in 2001.
When I hear it now, it sounds like a beginner's effort and like we're struggling along. The objective was to try to experiment with a different kind of rock music, influenced by the Minutemen but trying it our way. We were also into some of the same groups...
BLACK FLAG released their debut LP on this day in 1981. "Police Story" deals with police in a very personal way. It's kind of half and half. It doesn't really deal with police in a political way. It deals with them as an individual up against police problems...
MISFITS played live at On Broadway, San Francisco on this day in 1981. It was the first of three late-November west coast gigs. Two of the songs - "All Hell Breaks Loose" and "We are 138" - were included on the original Evilive 7" (December 1982) and 12"...
SUBURBAN LAWNS aired the Jonathan Demme-directed video for their debut single, "Gidget Goes to Hell", on this day in 1980 during Saturday Night Live.
Our songs go from pillar to post, but it's mainly first chorus, first chorus, bridge, first chorus, end - even if it does that in a circuitous and oddball way. We've never really been musically adventurous. Well, maybe in some senses, but we just take the traditional and...
...eighteen songs in fifteen minutes. On he face of it, the music was skeletal, but with Boon's skronk guitar, Watt's chordal bass, Hurley's busy percussing, it was more than the sum of its parts. While the music was eccentrically funky, like a highly caggeinated Captain Beefheart running down...
Formed by members of KILSLUG, UPSIDEDOWN CROSS released their self-titled debut LP on this day in 1991 through Taang!J. Mascis (DINOSAUR JR) is the drummer on this record. The Upsidedown Cross record is one of my favorite records I've ever played on. I was flirting with real punk...
Verbrenn mich, reiß mich nieder. EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN released their debut LP, Kollaps, on this day in 1981 through ZickZack Schallplatten.
Our philosophy was that the one thing Suicide was never going to do was entertain.

John Peel took notice of us right from the start. He played us on his show on numerous occasions. It certainly brought us to the publics attention, as he did with so many bands of the time. Looking back, TOH was never played on BBC Radio bar John...
