NEW FAST AUTOMATIC DAFFODILS Body Exit Mind 1992

biography

by Ron DePasquale
While grunge reigned in the early '90s, New Fast Automatic Daffodils made its mark on the indie rock scene in Manchester, England. Bassist Justin Crawford, guitarist Dolan Hewison, and drummer Perry Saunders got together in 1988, and singer Andy Spearpoint joined soon after. Spearpoint's obscure lyrics spoken over repetitive riffs and beats gave NFAD's music a dream-like quality. While many bands of that era were preoccupied with displaying their angst on the world stage, NFAD was concerned with creating groovy, spacy music you could dance to. And they made plenty of it: three full-lengths, five EPs, and ten singles all in roughly four years.

JENNIFER TRYNIN Cockamamie 1994

Thanks to El Diablo con Queso for the up!




Artist Biography by


Jennifer Trynin claims no real influences on her melodic pop songs, which generally examine failed relationships, since the only record she has ever owned is her debut album, Cockamamie. Trynin recorded it on her own Squint label at age 31 while simultaneously running her own desktop publishing business. As the album found its way into the hands of studio executives, a bidding war for Trynin's talents ensued, and she eventually chose Warner Brothers, which re-released Cockamamie as originally recorded. Gun Shy Trigger Happy followed in 1997.

Kerosene 454 Biography by Yancey Strickler

Kerosene 454 was a classic D.C. band in the sense that their lifespan was short and prolific. The band formed in 1993, beginning their career with a flurry of 45s followed up by their first LP, Situation at Hand. The early releases were standard D.C. punk: loud, scathing, and with little melody. After the recording of Situation at Hand, Kerosene 454's sound took off with Came By to Kill Me due to the emergence of Darren Zentek's drumming ability. Whereas the early Kerosene 454 catalog was a dull drone, Came By to Kill Me was an ecstatic roar; the interplay between the throaty screams and squealing guitars of Erik Denno and Jim Wall began to rival even Fugazi's legendary duo of Picciotto/MacKaye.

Due to the band's growing popularity, Polyvinyl compiled the group's early 45s and first record onto one LP, Race, which was released in 1997. In 1998, Kerosene 454 issued their third and final album, At Zero. Undoubtedly their most accomplished and melodic record, it featured Darren Zentek (ex-Glendale) shining on the drums, coming off like the long lost twin brother of Don Caballero's Damon Che. After a quick tour in support of At Zero, the band called it quits. After the breakup, Denno and Zentek started playing with another D.C. band, called Oswego, while brothers Jim Wall and John Wall went on to form Vito Bruno with Brandon Butler (ex-Boys Life and Farewell Bend) and Vin Novara (ex-Crownhate Ruin).

THE BUTCHIES Are We Not Femme 1998

Discogs

biography

[+] by Jason Ankeny
Durham, NC-based queercore trio the Butchies reunited singer/guitarist Kaia Wilson and drummer Melissa York, who previously teamed in the pioneering Team Dresch. Joined by ex-Poor Valentino bassist Alison Martlew, the Butchies signed to Mr. Lady (the independent label Wilson founded with girlfriend Tammy Rae Carlson) to issue their 1998 debut Are We Not Femme?. A year later, the Chris Stamey-produced Population 1975 was released. the Butchies didn't waste much time in between albums; Wilson kept herself busy with Mr. Lady and issued albums by Le Tigre and Sarah Dougher in the early millennium while the band prepared for a third album. Getting back together with producer Greg Griffith, the aptly titled Three appeared in 2001. Stateside dates with The Indigo Girls' Amy Ray followed that summer. A fourth effort, Make Yr Life, was recorded in ten days before hitting shelves in spring 2004. It marked the Butchies' first release with Yep Roc.
