_________
A-Frames "A-Frames" LP (S-S/Dragnet)
Scientific strip down of the pop song, redressed with damage & disdain. 180
gram vinyl, heavy silk screened sleeve. Possible CD version on Omnibus in
the works.

review from HECKLER Magazine: "The A-Frames emerge from what seems to be a
sea of arty British post-punk imitators with a record chalked full of
stripped down, art damaged pop the way it was supposed to be played.
Growling, distorted bass and solid, robotic drumming march forward through a
terrain of scientific imagery drawn from the pages of 50¹s science fiction,
delivered by repetitious, empirical, almost emotionless vocals. The sparsely
implemented single guitar ranges from a downplayed hiss, to rampaging
angular riffs in songs like "Electric Eye" and "Test Tube Baby". The dark
anti-pop of this Seattle three-piece exceeds all expectations with a unique
Factory Records-like spin on the sounds of early Wire and The Fall."

_________
FM Knives - "Useless & Modern" CD (Moo-La-La)
Straight ahead garage rock'roll meets late 70's power-pop. If you dig the
Kids, the Boys, PVC, Devoto-era Buzzcocks, or Undertones, you'll flip for
this. 13 great songs from former members of Los Huevos, the Pretty Girls,
Nar, Karate Party...

_________
Duchess of Saigon - "Easter Queen" 7" (S-S)
Minimalist pop art duo from Sacramento. Blend The Tronics, 1/2 Japanese,
Beat Happening, The Deviants...and twist.
