Short of Popular (OG Version)

pbsdigs Here's the '90s for ya, the real 1990s in the filthy underground clubs splattered with feedback, broken guitar chords, heavy damaged psych riffs and a whole lotta indecipherable screaming about things only relevant to people too broke and drugged out to care about anything shiny and new. And a Blondie cover to boot, a lot less ironic than you think, probably not ironic at all. Go see these dudes -- they're on tour NOW. Favorite track: Carjack Fairy.

about

Nobody has made music as loud, noisy and evil as the infernal racket Cherubs produced. This is pure, heavy, intense, in-the-red punk noise that will melt your face off. It's beautiful.

One of the most vital underground bands of the 90s.

Short Of Popular features songs from multiple mid-90s Cherubs sessions including the Heroin Man recordings.

about

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
