Musick that Needed Work: U - USSA

 

USSA is a side project for Duane Denison (guitarist for Jesus Lizard) & Paul Barker (bassist for Ministry). They recruited Gary Call (Vocals) & Johnny Rabb (drums) to complete the four-piece. 

 

 

Pretty much run-of-the-mill rock.  If you like Tomahawk, The Jesus Lizard, Killing Joke, Ministry, QOTSA then you might like this. Vocalist reminds me a bit of Mike Patton???.

  2. It's a strange and wonderful world where bands like Tomahawk, The Jesus Lizard, Killing Joke, Ministry, QOTSA get labelled 'run-of-the-mill-rock', but i wouldn't live anywhere else (unless it was an anarchist utopia, but hey, we can't have everything, right?) And sounding like Mike Patton just sweetens the deal. There can't be that many vocalists out there with his range. Can there?

    1. You have to pardon my write-ups. I don't know what to say most of the time & definitely don't know what I'm sayin'. Just baitin' the hook for those unawares. A bit like Patton, not sure about the range.

    2. Don't do yourself down, you're a great signposter of songs and scenes. You've never sold me no pups or lemons.
