Witch, Paralyzed (Tee Pee Records, 2008)
Paralyzed picks up where Witch’s debut left off, and added the influence of the Sabbath-infused Side 2 of Black Flag’s my War.
In fact, Paralyzed sounds like it could have been on one of the more obscure releases from SST from the mid-1980s—part
of the label’s “Blasting Concept” challenge to hardcore kids to push beyond the rigid definitions of punk rock. And though
Thomas’ singing can get a little too elfin for this kind of gig, a noisy freakout like “Psychotic Rock” perishes such silly thoughts.
King Tuff, Mindblow (Spirit of Orr, 2006)
This is the hard-to-find debut of King Tuff. Some of the songs reappear either in different or exactly the same versions as on
Was Dead. The raw attack take on “Laserbeam” on mindblow definitely has more of a Television vibe to it, while songs like
“Black Zelda, “Hands” and “Staircase of Diamonds” are, quite simply, some of the finest examples of contemporary rock &
roll (genre, schmenre) to be heard in recent years.
