In Saccharine We Trust

 

NØ sez:
     Saccharine Trust came out of the southern California SST scene that also included bands like Black Flag, SWA, Descendents, October Faction, DC3, Tom Troccoli's Dog & many many more. The band was started by singer Jack Brewer (Jack Brewer Band, Perfect Rat, w/Bazooka, w/Kava) & Joe Baiza (Universal Congress of..., October Faction, Natassya Filippovna, & Unknown Instructors[with Mike Watt & George Hurley of Minutemen fame]) in 1980. Original drummer Rob Holzman appeared on their 1981 debut Paganicons but left the band to play in Slovenly & was replaced by drummer Tony Cicero. Many musick luminaries including Kurt Cobain, Buzz Osborne, & Sonic Youth have named Sacchrine Trust as a major influence on their musick. Sonic Youth covered their song "I Am Right" on the SST compilation The Melting Plot

  2. Thanks for the share, I've not heard this in decades. Reminds me of my degenerate youth as a skateboarder.

  3. Not familiar with this one but I'm definitely a fan of their 80s work and Joe Baiza's other projects so no doubt worth a spin!

    1. Thanks, MrDave. If you're a fan of Baiza's other works, you'll surely enjoy this. Right up his alley & then some. A very under-rated project.
