| 875.1 | I've only heard about half the song | GOES11::G_HOUSE | Low self opinion | Mon Sep 21 1992 17:31 | 6 |
| Apparently, from the talk in Radio_Radio, they used to be more
grunge/hardcore sounding and their sound sorta changed to a more metal
sound when they got on a big label. Their current album is the first
on the new label.

| I saw them on MTV a couple of days ago...Kind of reminded me of the
old Punk bands that were so heavy the drew Punk Fans and Metal Heads
alike at there shows..like Black Flag and the rest.
I dunno, the guitars sounded like they were mike-ing one of those Rock-
Man headphone amps I used to have when I was a kid...

| I have the album and it definitely kicks a$$...
It's called "Meantime". Here's the songlist if you care:
In The Meantime
Ironhead
Give It
Unsung
Turned Out
He Feels Bad
Better
You Borrowed
FBLA II (I'm still trying to figure out what this stands for, the
lyrics don't give the slightest clue)
Role Model
Thev�w ��" lyrics are short and blunt. They definitely are better
understood \w�
with the music... I think they have some kind of hidden meaning we're
not supposed to understand or something.... ;)
Most of their stuff is really heavy/alternative with a consistent groove.
Anyway, I like it which should be enough.

I heard 1 song by these guys the other night, and it had a good
grove to it. Not sure which song, though. "Choppy" vocals,
driving bass. Don't remember the lead work, if there was any.
Not sure if I'll get the album, but I might.

"The Organic sort of compositional quality to sound like a real
pretentious Dick!__gets lost in Jammin.There's another thing that
happens thats Kool,but I'd prefer to have Somethin_Solid from

| A friend made me a copy of Meantime not long ago and all I have to say
is that these guys RIP! Roolin tone and overall sound! An amazing
amount of energy.
I saw a video of theirs on MTV last week and it was ok, pretty much the
standard "empty warehouse" performance with just the band. Not real
eventful, but the song is great!

If you like that song, you'll like the rest of the album. It's not my
favorite on there, but it is representative.

| Re.: .17
"Betty" really is great . I got it right in time before I went to the
helmet show in munich . And it was a hell of a show ... after the band
kicked the security dudes off the stage we had lots of stagediving and
fun . The performance was thrilling , a good mixture of new songs (like
Wilma's Rainbow , Milquetoast ..) and my fav's from the other albums
(the last 3 songs were Unsung , Meantime and RUDE !) . IMHO it was a
perfect concert , they played 1� hours without any major breaks .
Together with the other acts (Understand and Kerbdog) it was a over 3
hour show and really worth the money !

"Milquetoast" is my favorite so far.

"Betty" is along the same lines as "Meantime", but IMO it is
more refined. Not to say it doesn't kick, but maybe they got
some more recording/mixing time for this one, ya know?
I also picked up "Strap It On", and listened to most of it
last week. Greg, this one is more along the lines of "Mean-
time", maybe even a little less refined. I'm pretty sure
you'd like it. I'll have to stick it in the car one of these
days to give it a REAL listen, and then I'll have a better
opinion.
