BOSS FUEL - THE RIDE b/w RUMBLE MAMBO 7" (LOAD 003)

ALSO A SPLIT WITH OVER THE COUNTER RECORDS WHO I MENTIONED IN THE LAST POST. IT'S 1994 BABY.

I COULD HEAR THIS GOING DOWN WELL WITH LOADS OF MY FRIENDS WHO LIKE THAT TRASH/KITSCH ASPECT TO GARAGE ROCK. YOU KNOW THE KIND. GIRLS IN BROTHEL CREEPERS WITH MEAN LOOKING FRINGES. GUYS IN LEATHER. POSTERS OF RUSS MEYER FILMS. A SKULL OR AN 8-BALL ON THEIR KEYRING. FLAMES. BASICALLY GOOD PEOPLE WITH WHOM I SHARE NO TASTE. THE B-SIDE IS A LINK WRAY COVER. CAN'T REALLY FUCK WITH IT IF IT'S FAITHFUL.

SO BEN MCOSKER GOT THE 35TH PO BOX NUMBER IN PROVIDENCE? DID THEY ONLY OPEN A POST OFFICE IN 1991?

 

I FOUND OUT THAT THE SINGER OF BOSS FUEL IS SCOTTISH AND WAS A STUDENT AT RISD WHEN THIS CAME OUT WHICH POSSIBLY TELLS US WHY THEY WERE JUST A SHORT LIVED THING. HE NOW DOES TATTOOS IN EDINBURGH. THE DRUMMER IS A DESIGNER NOW. THE BASSIST IS A PRO BASSIST WITH LOTS OF VIDEOS OF HIM BASSING. THE GUITARIST ALSO DOES TATTOOS. STAY HARD. STAY ART.
