Instrumental math rock group from Richmond, Virginia, active in the 1990s.
Instrumentally Retarded Review by Jack Rabid
Who needs vocals? Or so this Richmond, VA-based
instrumental trio might ask. While there've been scores of groups doing
ska, surf, and lounge/Morricone stuff that have forgone the human voice,
King Sour sounds like a loud mid-'80s Midwest post-punk band from the
vintage Homestead label days, with its reliance on heavy bass/drums
smashing and a sympathetically tough guitar sound. Though one could
easily hear scads of promising melodies if they ever do decide to take
on a singer -- and Alternative Tentacles' head Jello Biafra has
apparently even offered to sign them if they do -- these uncompromising
folks retain one's attention. Do you think that's easy?
