Early 90's kitchen sink Seattle scene comp on a Tacoma label in it's 650 pressing splendor.  Take the band Apple Maggot Quarantine Area.  The vocalist Bob Bulgrien went on to be in the much more famous Seaweed.  Nonoxynol 9 due a bit of instrumental Surf Rock.  The side wraps with a real honest to God groupie and her story of Jim Belushi.

The B-side opener "Times Too Tight" also has the Bulgrien/Seaweed connection.  This particular track was good straight forward  buzzsaw punk.  For me this was the best of the lot.  Like a super stripped Husker Du.  Probably the best track of the record as far as memorable songs go , since it was going through my head after a listen.  Smasher Garden was a bit of meandering butt metal.  Leviathan's "March of the Weed" was a bit better and also memorable.  Kinda reminds me of Children In Adult Jails.  The band more than the practice.  Then you get an outro answering machine message.

A conceptually adequate release.
