The AMEBIX are not a thrash band, but they're not wimps either. Their music is a blend of tense drama and plodding seriousness which gives me a feeling of impending doom. With its great production, distinctiveness, and angst, I think this 12" is the best thing they've ever...
TEX AND THE HORSEHEADS live at Works Gallery, San Jose, California on this day in 1985. The show was part of the Inter-Collegiate Broadcasting System Convention organised by local college radio station KFJC. I have a drink every now and then like everybody else... I get intoxicated a little...

When we did the first album, we just went into Berry St studios and recorded the songs live, as we had done them on the tour we had just finished, and only added the vocals afterwards, plus a couple of other bits. It was quite clear what was...
That was the first show ever in history of Irvine Meadows that the barricade got broke. Other bands like Slayer and Megadeth played there, but nothing happened.It was a great show for us because we didn't get any video airplay up until "Mother". People just refused to acknowledge...
...in the Summer of '78, Pete Stennet, owner of the much missed Small Wonder Records, heard one of our demo tapes and loved it. He wanted to put out a single but couldn't decide on which track, so we recorded all the songs we'd written and made the...
FIREHOSE live at California State University Fullerton on this day in 1992. A few months before the release of their last album, Mr. Machinery Operator.
We are the only honest band. You try to find another band that's got true, honest feeling. Not fashion, girls, things that are going to get them in the Top 10. That's rubbish, all of it. Our motives are to become as much ourselves as we possibly can....

ASSÜCK completed the recording of their debut 12", Anticapital, on this day in 1991 at Morrisound. We've kinda veered off from fucking dead people, we've bridged into reality a little more and everyday troubles that we have, a lot of our lyrics are animal rights, anti racist lyrics,...
People seemed to like it, it got really good reviews. I knew it was a really good record. I knew that after Star Booty we had something really powerful up our sleeves, I just knew it. We all knew it. It didn't matter that no-one else knew, and...
