Adrian's Childhood - Sometimes I Feel Myself That Way (1990)

The little spoken of Adrian's Childhood were from said to hail from Seattle, but amazingly don't emanate a shred o' grunge. More like turn of the decade alt-rock with nods to the likes of the Connells, Ocean Blue, and for better or worse Live (the band). There's some tastefully executed jangle sprouting now and again, really benefiting some of AC's most potent offerings like "Ellensberg" and the deliciously sprite and spry "POP."

I'm not in possession of a physical copy of this one, but whomever converted it to digital, I thank them for going to the effort, and furthermore for attaching four extra cuts that were independent of the Sometimes LP itself. Given their rawer (and sometimes untitled) nature I have to assume these are demos, which just so happen to rival the album's finest moments.

02. Tang a Tang
03. Joe's Ice Cream
04. POP

Sorry - Imaginary Friend (1984, radiobeat)

Remember when I took to task Sorry's '86 platter The Way it Is and blabbed something about their earlier "rough and tumble" hardcore years? Well, you're about to hear what Sorry's nascent era was all about it, by way of Imaginary Friend . In the form of eighteen cuts to be exact, many of which clock in at under ninety seconds, but if you're expecting fearsome, symmetrical slammers all cut from the same cloth think again. Boston born and bred, this quartet weren't really along the lines of their hometown's more renown SS Decontrol or Gang Green. Even back in '84, Sorry were picking up on the vibes of relative newcomers Mission of Burma, Volcano Suns, and early Husker Du - albeit not as effective, and definitely not as consistent. They had a penchant for sloppiness and spouted an array of dissonant affectations that were a hell of lot more chaotic than calculated. Most of IF's more notable moments reside on side one, entailing "...

The Woodies - Train Wreck ep (1989, Pop)

Here's another dose of "lost" '80s pop, this time hailing from Tampa, FL. Train Wreck was the co-ed Woodies second record and if anything else, it's pretty much impossible not to tout the album's duo of driving, propulsive rockers that bookend this six song affair, "Part of My Act" and "Penelope Says." Two primo numbers that would've sounded perfectly at home on any left-of-the-dial outlet of the era, not to mention the kind of splendid tuneage Wilfully Obscure has staked it's reputation on. The four remaining songs plucked from the Woodie's Wreckage vary, with pleasing flourishes like some well-placed mandolin in "My Muslim Wife," while the bouncy, simpleton tact of "Pretty Brown Eyes" flirts with, you guessed it, power pop. 01. Part of My Act 02. My Muslim Wife 03. The Doctor 04. Stuck in Purgatory 05. Pretty Brown Eyes 06. Penelope Says 07. untitled instrumental https://www56.zippyshare.com/v/JNiX2...

Breeding Ground - Tales of Adventure (1986, Fringe)

Got a decent Canadian export for ya'll here. Spectacular in spots, even but will get to that in a moment. Having a mouthpiece ( John Shirreff ) who often sounded like Peter Murphy must have gotten Breeding Ground bullied with darkwave/goth accusations aplenty. Things weren't quite that convenient however, as BG's sonic tapestry was more attuned to the likes of The Fixx, Cactus World News, and even country-mates Frozen Ghost. And like many of the aforementioned these guys had a propensity for depth and echoing guitars, without ever getting too heady or pious (perhaps with the exception of Tales' anomalous "Happy Now I Know," which centers on Shirreff's apparent Christian leanings). And regarding those rather spectacular songs I mention in my opening - "Turn to Dust," the title piece, and the unlisted "Reunion," all typify what was so rewarding in the often nebulous realm of 'modern rock' in the '80s. Enjoy. 01. This T...
