The 4th single from Houston's garage-punk band Sugar Shack was not the first one I bought. It was, however, the last. They went on to bigger labels putting out a debut CD on Fist Puppet the same year of this 1992 single called Charmer. That release contained on of the three tracks here, "Worthless Woman." The other two are not streamable.
The 3 tracks are decent lo-fi garage-rock circa late 80's-early 90's. They graduated to Estrus records in the middle of the decade before. Since this record can't be streamed, I got in my pre-requisite three listens to get a better feel for the record. The funny thing is the two songs NOT on the album are the more memorable ones. "Worthless Woman," however, has the best solo in the Blue Cheer/Mudhoney slow vein before a more jaunty garage sound kicks in.
"I'm The Fearless Frat Killer Your Ass Is Mine." "You'll Put Me In My Grave!" "I Swear! I Swear!" "Don't Mean Nothin' At All!" These are some of the lyrical phrases you'll encounter.
The depth isn't stunning, but it's a good single.
