South East

Full Fathom Five Four Song EP

FULL FATHOM FIVE sounds like the better Homestead bands, with their powerful guitar sound, varied arrangements, and abstract vocal concerns. I liked their HUSKER-ish changes on “Why Their Faces Are So Worn,” and the other tracks are quite respectable.

V/A The Iowa Compilation LP

A statewide comp of varying alternative musics. There isn’t any hardcore, but most of the pop stuff here has an edge, and bands like CLAUDE PATE, HOUSE OF LARGE SIZES and SHELLGAME do have quite a bite.
