LP","description":"\"Echo Park’s Mono Records was an early supporter of the Echo Park bands who don’t fit so easily into that kind of garage\/psych\/fuzz-and-fun punk-as-pop sound; instead, Mono’s select releases tend to celebrate the esoteric, and here’s the definitive statement so far: a compilation of L.A. bands heavily inspired by U.K. sounds during that bottomlessly special post-punk moment where the spirit of ‘anything goes’ met the ability to make everything sound good. Shoegaze, C86, labels like Glass and Fire and Rough Trade—this is what Life Is … or at least where it starts. Some tracks here are previously released—two from FROTH's excellent Bleak LP, a-side of TRACY BRYANT's 'Little Things' single also on Mono—but necessary anyway, especially if you didn’t get a limited original. But some apparently exist nowhere else, like the churning 'Fear' by JEFF FRIBOURG (ex-Froth, now in MIND MELD) and his band NUMBER.ER and also his Omnichord, or the Nikki Sudden-Go-Betweens stand-out bum-outs from BEAT HOTEL, or BILLY CHANGER's pixilated John Carpenter-style mostly instrumental 'Ride,' a close cousin to his recent LP track 'Chiller.' NOAH KWID (once of DIRT DRESS) also makes solo vinyl debut here as KWID, an understated Fast Product-style drum-machine post-punk song called (naturally) 'I Find Myself, and MOTHER MERRY GO ROUND delivers two striking songs that split the difference between Orange Juice and Joy Division. Altogether, it’s not just a powerfully consistent vision but a nice counterpoint to what the outside world thinks it is people do here: seven bands a little out of step and a little out of time, except for with each other.\"—Chris Ziegler (L.A.

(centered on Akron) and Extermination Nights in the Sixth City (centered on Cleveland). Of the two, Burn Rubber City, Burn! has a clear blueprint in Stiff's The Akron Compilation. Four songs from the Stiff disc have found their way onto Burn Rubber City, Burn!, but that slight overlap isn't enough to make the album redundant. Instead, the record fleshes out the portrait of Akron past. Bizarros and Rubber City Rebels blurred the line between bluesy, hard-rocking, keyboard-spiked proto-punk; in particular, Bizzaro's own slithery theme song, \"I Bizarro\", dramatizes the shift between Detroit stoner-snarl and punk's frantic animosity. And although \"Rubber City Rebel\" doesn't appear on Burn Rubber City, Burn!, the group is well represented by \"Kidnapped\" and \"Such a Fool\", two tracks taken from their '77 split with the Bizarros that demonstrate the no-holds-barred ethic of the time, before punk became petrified by its own image; the former is a raw, blistering spasm that predicts the coming hardcore storm, while the latter sounds as if it could be a raucous Alice Cooper demo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny Akron comp without Devo, however, would be disastrously incomplete, and Burn, Rubber City, Burn! includes the 1974 demos of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SJcshY5ywro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Mechanical Man\"\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nZxjGiOnb1I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Auto Modown\"\u003c\/a\u003e. Robotic, withdrawn, synth-twiddling, and playfully bleak, these two songs set the tone for later comp highlights such as Chi-Pig's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KdmhD4MUsv0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Apu Api\"\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Lm-pkI7uHe4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Ring Around the Collar\"\u003c\/a\u003e. Neither would have been out of place on a contemporaneous Rough Trade comp, and members of the Slits-esque Chi-Pig would go on to co-write Devo's \"Gates of Steel\". (Mark Mothersbaugh, meanwhile, penned the lyrics for the group's \"Ring Around the Collar\".) Their presence helps pinpoint the big bang of Akron's more experimental contingent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut for every gem like Jane Aire \u0026amp; the Belvederes' \"When I Was Young\"—in which Aire belts out gutsy and righteous tirades over jerky math-punk—there are oddities like \"Narrow Road\" by 15 60 75 Numbers Band—a listless, jazz-fusion meander that seems to have been listed for historical purposes only, seeing as how the group's lineup consisted, at one point or another, of Gerald Casale of Devo as well as Chrissie Hynde, an Akronite who moved to England and launched the Pretenders just before the Akron scene took off. It's unfortunate, also, that this completist spirit didn't spill over to the Cramps, who recorded a definitive batch of punkabilly demos in Akron in 1979 and whose frontman Lux Interior was a native.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkron has been honored with two documentaries about its punk heyday—2003's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fZmUWqCjquc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003eIt's Everything, and Then It's Gone\u003c\/a\u003e and 2005's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=whhP6TtrEkM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003eIf You're Not Dead, Play\u003c\/a\u003e. Cleveland, meanwhile, has had none (with the exception of 2007's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bDqEOpF4QXY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCleveland Screaming\u003c\/a\u003e, covering the city's '80s hardcore scene). Yet Cleveland's leading band of the era, Pere Ubu, were every bit as trailblazing as their Akron counterparts Devo. The fresh context of Extermination Nights in the Sixth City gives the anthology's two Pere Ubu selections—\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dvcsO6cYLus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Heart of Darkness\"\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VelS-YCtHV4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Final Solution\"\u003c\/a\u003e, plucked from their first two singles circa 1975 and '76—even more stark power. Leader David Thomas was still going by the ominous moniker Crocus Behemoth, and his mystique pervades these remarkable documents, which foreshadow the poetic tension and asperity of post-punk before punk itself had even solidified. Pere Ubu's predecessor, Rocket from the Tombs, gets a single song, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ovwyYd8aIKw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Life Stinks\"\u003c\/a\u003e, but that's all they need; the anti-anthem remains as haywire and nihilistically disjointed as the day it crawled out of Thomas' feverish brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleveland contained plenty of protean talent besides Pere Ubu and kin. The Dead Boys, featuring former members of Rocket from the Tombs, may have broken out of Cleveland and headed for New York's CBGB scene, but plenty other punk-rock provocateurs stayed behind and flourished like blacktop weeds. Among them were the Pagans, Cleveland's answer to Rubber City Rebels. Their pulsing, Iggy-like conniptions are represented on Extermination Nights by three raging tracks, most notably the garage-rock-on-glue-fumes desperation of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rkYdj3_7ahA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Dead End America\"\u003c\/a\u003e—a beer-swilling, blue-collar rallying cry in the midst of socioeconomic collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist side of the Cleveland scene finds expression on Extermination Nights, too. The Electric Eels, trafficking in punk savagery on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K9cUaRHCfog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Splittery Splat\"\u003c\/a\u003e and avant-rock deconstruction on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aRLMpEk3F-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Bunnies\"\u003c\/a\u003e. The Mirrors' jangling, atmospheric \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SEK4oRIomWQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Hands in my Pockets\"\u003c\/a\u003e parallels Television's dreamy vistas as well as England's Swell Maps; Poli Styrene Jass Band's twisted \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wb5yiLBrV54\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Drano in Your Veins\"\u003c\/a\u003e is a fit of Syd Barrett-meets-Frank Zappa whimsy. These quirks help make for a more solid, consistent listen than Burn Rubber City, Burn!—a higher batting average aided by the fact that Pere Ubu's tracks here reflect some of the best and most important music the group ever created, while Devo's contributions to Burn Rubber City, Burn! amount to mere marginalia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIronically, one of the most popular bands to emerge from the collective ooze of Burn Rubber City, Burn! and Extermination Nights in the Sixth City were the Waitresses. The quirky, lackluster, blues-rock oddity \"The Comb\"—which appears on both The Akron Compilation and Burn Rubber City, Burn!—in no way prepares us for the new-wavers who eventually charted with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bsneH0mOq-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"I Know What Boys Like\"\u003c\/a\u003e, performed the theme song to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EX29YGnTq3E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\"Square Pegs\"\u003c\/a\u003e, and were covered by the Spice Girls and on \"Glee\". Their success underlines the lack of cohesion to the Akron and Cleveland scenes. They were a free-for-all mix of inspired amateurs, ambitious opportunists, and serious, self-styled artists.

Side A starts in the mire of an electronic sunset with Quintron at the helm of the Weather Warlock synth, twiddling knobs and responding to the day's waning UV rays. Slowly, the Gulf Coast acid rock emerges courtesy of AARON HILL (EYEHATEGOD, MISSING MONUMENTS) on Drums, GARY WRONG (WIZZARD SLEEVE, VATICAN DAGGER, etc.) on supreme noise guitar, and Quintron on second guitar. Two of New Orleans more prolific free jazz reed players—PAUL GRASS (tenor sax) and TRAVIS BLOTSKEY (baritone sax)—help to glue this mass of southern scum rock to the lineage of serious free music shamans such as Sun Ra and Peter Brotzman. Side B presents the Weather Warlock instrument alone in the drone zone—doing its solo thing during a very active and stormy New Orleans sunset with Quintron occasionally tweaking the controls in harmony. The resulting music is basically a greatest hits of what mother nature and Weather Warlock are capable of by themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLimited edition of 500 copies on yellow vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rv9EgtcPul8\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Rhinestone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20457461505,"sku":"weatherwarlocksunsets","price":32.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1273\/6111\/products\/weather_warlock_-_sunsets.jpg?v=1465272967"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.strangeworldrecords.com.au\/collections\/all-vinyl\/edm.oembed","provider":"Strangeworld Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
