NØ sez:
This time it's New York City's Unsane. If you’re not familiar with them, then where the fuck have you been? They play aggressive noise rock. In their earliest incarnation as a power trio, Unsane have a driving rhythm section, a screaming Telecaster howl, & distorted vocals. This line-up included: Chris Spencer (vocals, guitar); Pete Shore (bass); & Charles Ondras (drums). They began playing NYC low-life clubs in 1989. It was at clubs like CBGB's that the band developed their trademark sound.
This, their self-titled debut, was recorded January 16, 1991 at Fun City & released on Matador Records in 1991. The cover is a photo of a decapitated man lying across train tracks, which sets the tone for the seething aggression of this album. In 1992, Unsane's drummer Charles Ondras died of a drug overdose & thing would never be quite the same for the band.

Another excellent one! I think it was their video for "scrape" that got me hooked.
ReplyDeleteI think I still have a copy of that video in some file. Great thrash & skateboarder crashes, if I totally recall. Getting Scraped. Thanks, brother.
