Despite the name this is NOT a Blue Cheer tribute band (though that in itself would be pretty fuckin’ cool). This is however, more of the insane “not quite metal, grind or hardcore but still heavy & fucked up sounding” stuff from Providence, RI.
Lots of nonsensical lyrics - any band who can make a song that last over a minute & :30 seconds screaming out “Who Farted? You Did!” has something seriously wrong with them. If you dig bulk of the Load Records bands & other like-minded weird-ass heavy bands (400 Blows, Unsane, GodheadSilo) then you’ll dig this.

(((1))) Fast & flying hardcore speed with killer drumming but the vocals are in that “what the fuck is he screaming?” mode - see Blasphmer of Mayhem, Wolf Eyes, old Burzum and other vocal screechers.
(2) Annoying as fuck with a billion stop/starts. If this was shooting for that “Bleeeeeearrrrgggh” compliation mindset it could be worthwhile. The joke was over after the first 10 seconds, dude.
((((3)))) Slow bass ‘ala GodheadSilo leading into a “Faries Wear Boots” -like march mixed with more damaged vocals then gets a lot faster in a pretty much grindcore mode.
(((4))) Fuckin’ A! West Coast powerviolence mixed with noise rock. FCCs: says “shit” waaaay too many times.
(((5))) Sounds like 400 Blows, slow thudding & mixed up paces jumping from doomy noise rock to boogie. Waaay too many FCCs, though!!
(((6)))) Oddball guitar noodling, slow & heavy low-end into noisy-ass power-violence something like a off-kilter version of Crossed Out (but not as intense but who thee fuck will EVER be as intense as Crossed Out?)
((7)) More heavy rock with weird & repetitive as hell, lines of drums & guitars dirty lyircs but they’re not too comphrensible.
(((8))) Severly fucked up noise rock but has those military-like “rat-a-tat” parts that Diamond Head (or Metaliica if you wanna be picky) used on “Am I Evil?” then goes into some giant ball of noise and lot of pissed off, thudding & repetitive stop-start parts (which can be annoying but it’s sort of amusing just to keep listening) that eventually get faster & faster - and even more mania! (FCC: “Shit” at the very end 5:13-5:14)
