Unsane liked Big Black, I bet.

well all of their album designs were basically variations on the limited version of Headache...

I think Unsane liked a lot of stuff. Foetus fer sure.

Unsane Rule. They are probably the band I've seen the most amount of times...willingly and unwillingly.

Their catalog is just one song, played OVER and OVER again.

― ddb, Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

they should work with La Monte Young.

They sound really, really good when considered in light of their ex-members' current projects.

cheap usage of skateboard accidents for music video notoriety, C/D?

CLASSIC!

They were great. The first band I ever interviewed! It was before the first album even came out, I think. I just dug 'em on the basis of all the singles. This was in like 1991 at the "Cabaret" Metro. I met Weasel Walter there, he had come to interview them too. He actually got his interview published, in "Nice Slacks". I didn't, because I'm a slacker and never wrote it up. I talked to Charlie Ondras like a week before he died, at the Matador CMJ showcase at the old Knitting Factory. It was Railroad Jerk and I can't even remember who else on the bill; Ondras was playing "MC". What a shock that was.

Anyway, still love that first album. I just couldn't get into them after that, though. Oh, influences; Spencer had told me he wanted to scream like the guy from the Sonics.

what was cheap about it?...

Unsane were always kind of a skaterock band...they were embraced by Skaters and featured in Thrasher and Big Brother.

eight months pass...

New album soon:

The first full-length from the NYC noise rock kings since 1998's
Occupational Hazard, Blood Run administers immeasurable amounts of
the band's unequalled combination of blood, guts and violence as
vocalist / guitarist Chris Spencer's scraping guitar work and vocal
angst is cemented by a pounding rhythm section and domineering air of
volatile aggressiveness. The final track listing for Blood Run is
"Backslide", "Release", "Killing Time", "Got It Down", "Make Them
Prey", "Hammered Out", "D Train", "Anything", "Recovery", "Latch" and
"Dead Weight". UNSANE's Blood Run is scheduled for an April
26th U.S. release date and a May 2nd European release date via
Relapse.

UNSANE (Chris Spencer: Vocals, Guitar, Dave Curran: Vocals, Bass,
Vinny Signorelli: Drums) will perform live on April 26th at the
Knitting Factory in New York City. The performance will double as the
band's Blood Run record release party. Support acts for the
evening's festivities are expected to be announced shortly.

Loudest show I ever saw (CBGB 1997)

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 22 February 2005 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

It hasn't been the same since Pete Shore got kicked out, much less since Charlie Ondras died.

Worst band names

― David Allen (David Allen), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I was severely jaded with that whole post-Big Black noise genre by the time they turned up, but I remember they had a murky, organic sound that gave their stuff extra wallop.

If they were garage punk fans, that would figure.

DAVID IF U ARE SAYING THAT UNSANE IS A BAD BAND NAME, THEN U R FUCKING DUMB.

RENT ONE DARIO ARGENTO MOVIE.

best bass sound on earth

Got the urge to listen to these guys for the first time in years. Started with Total Destruction, which was great New Year's Day driving-around music. I had forgotten how bluesy they are. In some ways they're the next step after ZZ Top and AC/DC; noisy, shrieking, stomping blues-rock with extra distortion and urban paranoia/angst. I only saw them once, in about 1997 when they first signed to Relapse; they played Coney Island High with Today Is The Day, who had also just signed to Relapse but had not yet hired two future Mastodon members as rhythm section. That show was fucking loud, and I'll never forget Steve Austin screaming so hard that a giant green booger shot out of his nose and landed on the mic head. A few seconds later, he shoved the whole mic head into his mouth, and when it popped back out, no more booger.

I saw them at CBGB same year and it was the loudest show I've (still) ever seen
