    This is said to be "noisy but melodic." I don't hear the melodic as much as I hear the noisy, but hey, it's still cool. With influences like Quicksand, Helmet, and Fugazi, Phatso will make you mosh and think. The second beastly track, "Cut Short," may even remind you a little of Nirvana. To order, send $6: c/o Joseph Harris, 10839 Hartsook St, North Hollywood CA 91601
