The Fiends - Gravedigger

Outra banda de Greg Johnson, vocalista do Worst, os Fiends começaram em 1993 em Vancouver, Canada, o som dos Fiends não é muito diferente do Worst em si, o que não é DE FORMA ALGUMA uma coisa ruim, muito pelo contrário. Esse disco foi lançado em 1998 e é de uma demência rara, mesmo pros dias de hoje, fato que se pode constatar nas faixas hiper-saturadas como No Good, o cover de Writing on the Wall dos Five Canadians, ainda melhor e mais psicótica que a versão anterior gravada por Johnson, com o Worst. A banda ainda existe, participou recentemente do segundo volume do tributo aos Fuzztones, tocando a clássica Romilar D, além de estar produzindo um novo LP, aparentemente sem previsão de lançamento.

The other band by the Worst's singer, Greg Johnson, the Fiends began their activities in 1993, based in Vancouver, Canada. Their sound isn't too far from the Worst itself, what ISN'T ANYTHINGN EAR BAD, actually, quite the oposite. This album was released in 1998 and has high levels of insanity, even by these days standards, a fact that can be certified in ultra-saturated tracks like No Good or the Five Canadians' cover of Writing on the Wall, even better and more psychotic than the version recorded by Johnson with the Worst. The band still exists, has participated on the Fuzztones' tribute second volume, playing the classic Romilar D, besides the production of a new LP, apparently without any release date so far.

The Worst - The Worst

Depois de dias de problemas pra acessar o blogger, finalmente eu volto pra fechar o ano direitinho. Formados no fim dos anos 80/começo dos 90 em Vancouver, Canada, o som dos caras é bem legal, algo entre o purismo dos primeiros do Chesterfield Kings e a crueza do The Fiends (inclusive, o vocalista dessa banda também canta nos Fiends). Os compositores da banda eram excelentes, como se percebe em faixas como Get That Thing, Lucky Guy e Telling you True. Pelo que eu vi, lançaram uma demo antes desse disco, alguns EPs, um último LP e acabaram, mas qualquer informação extra na banda seria muito bem vinda.

After days of trouble on acessing blogger, finally I come back to close the year properly. Formed somewhere between the late 80s / early 90s in Vancouver, Canada, the sound of these guys is very cool, something between the purism of early Chesterfield Kings and the Fiends' rawness (actually, their singer was also the Fiends'). The band has good songwriters, as seen in tracks like Get That Thing, Lucky Girl and Telling You True. As far as I'm concerned, they released a demo before that album, a few EPs, a last LP and broke up, but any extra info on the band would be very welcome.

The Gruesomes - Tyrants of Teen Trash

Banda canadense dos anos 80 (pelo jeito eles até alcançaram certa popularidade lá), o som deles é aquela coisa bem revivalista mesmo, a lá Music Machine, cheia de fuzz, grunhidos, farfisa e gritaria. Destaque pras faixas Get Outta my Hair, Cry in the Night (do Q65), Dementia 13 e I Never Loved Her.
