Memphis Goons
Teenage BBQ (1968-74) • myspace
"Although this collection has been rumored to be a fake collaboration recorded in the '90s to sound like it was from the '60s, this scenario could not be further from the truth. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, truth is better than fiction. These Memphis high school losers were listening to Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, and the like in the early '70s and were not going to let their redneck roots or their lack of musicianship stop them from creating their vast body of work in Elvis Presley's shadow in the Memphis suburb of Whitehaven. Somebody in the band was dumb enough to save the tapes and almost 25 years later they saw the light of day. If you are looking for extreme music, here it is, in its raw, warbling, neo-psychedelic glory. Fuzzed-out, lo-fi, and nearly incomprehensible, this captures the true spirit of independent music." - Epitonic
Lucifer
Big Gun (1972)
"The retarded finger-pluck fuzztone and barely there percussion adds to the sheer smegma of the entire thing. This one will fester on the back of your mind as a feasible theme song for the ugliest aspex of hippie chauvinism, and in the addition the sometimes megalomaniacal urge for self-expression that the desire to fornicate can bring about among aesthetically challenged men."
''All that we worship Syd, Roky and Skip for, with the caveat that a complete deprivation of any discernible talent brings about, but even though the art and craft of the recorded output of the mighty Lucifer could be ignored (and was), it shouldn't.'' - Ugly Things

The Screamin' Mee-Mees
Answer Me 7'' (1996)
"More freaked-out, minimalist guitar ruckus from the man thats been turning his moms basement into party-central since the late-60s. Eternal teenager, Bruce Cole, and his drummer-buddy Jon Ashline play their garage rock several sheet to the wind, always. "PLAY LOUD ON CHEAP STEREO!" It says on the cover, "preferably with a stack of Schlitz or Pabst within arms reach" should have been added. This 45 originally came out in 1996. Grab one before theyre gone." -Brinkman Records

Vertical Slit
Slit & Pre-Slit (1977/2010)
"Slit And Pre-Slit was Jim Shepard’s first ever release, privately pressed in an edition of only 100 copies in 1977 and mostly given away to friends and musical/cultural heroes like Lester Bangs, Todd Rundgren, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Brian Eno, John Cale etc. Its extreme rarity has meant that few have had the chance to wrap their ears around it, but those in the know have consistently pronounced it Shepard’s best."
Volcanic Tongue
The Fuckin' Flyin' A-Heads
Swiss Cheese Back 7'' (1980)
From Volcanic tongue:
30th anniversary repro reissue of this legendary punk/DIY/weirdo/destructo American underground side that combines almost Rallizes-scale fuzz and confusion with the lurid basement ethos of Mike Rep, Bruce Cole, The Electric Eels et al. The sound is massively dislocated with the rhythm section broadcasting from a warehouse next door, totally wailing acid guitar leads, a fevered echoed vocal that has shades of Alan Vega and Iggy Pop and a devolved, free-form approach to structure that ends with everyone soloing at once. Classic avant garage scorch with a heavy psych edge. Orginally released in 1980, straight out of Hawaii, what the fuck were they thinking?
