BOSS HOG
Drinkin', Lechin', & Lyin'
1989 U.S. pressing

A super noisy, garage-y and bluesy kinda punk record; super loud and abrasive, thanks to the “production” work of the late, great Steve Albini.

This album is all about attitude, confrontation and energy than it is about any kind of refinement. It has a very live and off-the-cuff feel, and although Cristina Martinez’s vocals can be a little off-putting, they work because the band is so visceral.

An interesting record for fans of Jon Spencer’s more refined work in Blues Explosion.

All of the full lengths that followed this E.P. greatly pale in comparison to this. Very disappointing.

This is the only Boss Hog record you’ll need.

"In tribute to the late Steve Albini and to benefit the Letters Charity that was a huge part of his life and legacy, Fugazi are making available the formerly unreleased recordings they made with Steve in the fall of 1992. This session features all of the tracks that Fugazi would later re-record for the 1993’s “In On The Killtaker” LP."

Released today 38 years ago:

🇺🇸 Pixies "Surfer Rosa" – 1988

A raw and explosive debut that redefined alternative rock dynamics.
The band’s signature quiet-loud-quiet structures are pushed to extremes, while the vocals move between surreal abstraction and visceral intensity...
