This is a document of one of two BIG STICK members’ tragic family separation, daughter’s death and is as anti-poverty, drug, and racism as conceivable. Musically rap, scratch, noise-a-rama (a la “Cookie Puss”) and great in its repetitiveness. But it is one of the most lyrically powerful pieces witnessed in a long time. Real and frightening.
Unconventional fuzzy guitar licks, industrial grade drumming, and twisted vocal effects highlight this 8-song cassette. Some studio tracks are included, but the live ones really throb.
Following their effective 7″ (included here with an additional track), BIG STICK pushes five guitar-oriented songs through a flanger, adds pounding drums, sprinkles demented vocals over the mix — and what results is funny, wild rock that many PERE UBU fans might find agreeable. Interesting.
Experimental music set to a beat. Abrasive, twisted, and fully psyched-out with a mean edge and guitar. I like this stuff.
