supercoolguy this album is why the name your price system works. i mean it’s basically free, but look at that cover. it’s the kind of art that makes you say, “well I can’t NOT buy it on vinyl.” I mean any format physical or otherwise would do, but LP is the best choice to hang on your wall like some trendy hipster. But while hipsters listen to lane shit I’m listening to crisp, lo-fi sludge greatness. Throw a few bucks at em and buy one of their other albums too. Favorite track: Baby Huey.

Ashton Richards This album was definitely ahead of the time; even to this day I can't name many rock songs that implement an old school loop like Baby Huey does. Much noise rock from the '90s is heavily inspired by Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, which is fine, but it's pleasing to hear something stray from that formula as Cherubs do. Favorite track: Baby Huey.

about

"Heroin Man stands as both the chronological center of the Cherubs catalog, and it's defining moment. As one of noise rock's finest moments, Heroin Man is both a delicate, tragic statement and send-off to a friend who had OD'd, and a bellowing, roaring, over-amped screwball masterpiece of Butthole Surfers mayhem and Husker Du pop structures. It's sometimes difficult to distinguish between Kevin Whitley's guitar and Owen McMahon's bass, and that's precisely the point -- this is noise rock; and still at other's, Whitley's guitar is a washing, white-noise counterpoint to the pummeling rhythm section. This is a dense, sprawling, spiraling work showing a band peaking aesthetically, with perhaps an even more ambitious album to follow. Unfortunately, due to the usual host of reasons, that never occurred. This was the Cherubs final studio album until their reformation 20+ years later."

CHERUBS image

CHERUBS Austin, Texas

Formed in 1992, Cherubs emerged on the Austin, TX, LSD punk scene with a jackhammer of nightmarish, rhythm-driven song structures and plenty of Butthole Surfers whimsy and terror to keep things more than interesting. Fast forward 20 years later and the band has reformed with more energy and songwriting acumen then ever. ... more
