Rocket from the Crypt - paint as a fragrance LP/CD

  • headhunter/cargo records. 003 / 10 tracks / 1991
  • JAP: toy’s factory. tfck-88634 / 10 tracks / 1993
  • US test pressings with generic test press labels (white with green printing), no sleeve. Japanese version (CD only, very few made, 500 or 1000?) has additional Japanese insert (band bio I guess) but no additional tracks. LP and CD versions have slightly different cover photos.
  • Their debut album is an incredible blend of hardcore, punk rock and grunge. Great melodies, lots of power, noisy guitars and always with a smart pop edge. Noisy, dirty, rocking and wild, but not as extreme as their subsequent releases - not as catchy when they're melodic, and not as chaotic when they're noisy, but still, an instant classic. [10]  
  • In den letzten Jahren waren Punk-Klassiker leider dünn gesät. Daß es immer noch geht, zeigen RFTC, die gleich mit ihrem Debut in die ewigen Top Ten eingehen. Kratziger, dreckiger und wilder Hardcore/Punk/Grunge’n’Roll, aber immer auf der poppigen Seite. Die Melodien sind unglaublich, aber was das Wichtigste ist: die Band ist verdammt souverän, man merkt bei jeder Note, daß sie meinen, was sie sagen und sich nicht krampfhaft bemühen, “cool as fuck” zu sein. Muss man haben.
  • Tracks: french guy / maybelline / shy boy / basturds / velvet touch // evil party / stinker / jiggy jig / weak superhero / thumbmaster
