This was the follow-up band for Sean Croghan. I had the 80's single from his band Hellcows entitled "G-Spot Crush" and never knew the connection until the magic of Discogs links. I did know Crackerbash were from Portland, OR and put out a single on Sub Pop a couple years after this debut.
The A-side, "Bike" has strained vocals and chords ridded to death with a plodding sprightly bassline. The B-side is better. "Laughing Song" sounds a bit like "59 Times The Pain" era Husker Du. Forgive me for forgetting the umlauts. Overall I probably gave the Hellcows more attention, I didn't have active recollection of this single beyond the sight of it in the pile.
Records like these, bought to play a time or few on the radio and complete my tangential Sub Pop collection back when I still thought it was worth getting every one of those bands complete discography. I can't remember if I bought this in 1990 or 1991 or 1992 or even 1993.
I suspect it wasn't later.
