alternative tentacles. virus 19 / 4 tracks / 1982 (?)

Same band - same record - different title - different sleeves (get it?). #1 - First pressing with Sheer Smegma sleeve. #2 - Band was renamed “Teddy and the Frat Girls”, so there was an “intermediate edition” with this name stamped on the inner sleeve, plus a wraparound lyric sleeve; labels still say “Sheer Smegma”. No pic sleeve. #3 - New pic sleeve with new band name. Don’t know about the labels. #4 - 12” reissue on AT with yet another sleeve.

Weird & loud noisecore with a female vocalist; one of those Florida bands that had they brains fried by the heat. Strange & wild. [7]  

Die meisten Bands aus Florida sind entweder sterbenslangweilig oder total fertig; diese Mädels gehören mit Sicherheit in die zweite Kategorie. Während die Band einen Soundcheck macht, kriegt die Sängerin einen epileptischen Anfall. Oder so ähnlich. Laut jedenfalls. Und wild.
