Mr. Epp and the Calculations

Mr. Epp and the Calculations Live as All Get Out cassette

A 26-song live collection that’s real nifty. Whether FLIPPER-ish noise stuff or MEATMEN-like garage semi-thrash, it’s all powerful, intelligent, and biting. The sound quality varies from track to track, but for lovers of feedback, it’s perfect. Recommended.

Mr. Epp and the Calculations Of Course I’m Happy, Why? EP

Weirdly-structured guitar raunch crammed with cynicism. Some of the cuts are fast (“Red Brigade”) and some are slower with herky-jerky rhythms, but all of them stimulate thought. The vicious critique of fashion-clone punks (“Mohawk Man”) is alone worth the price.
