This was my introduction to the Dead C, and I've been hooked ever since. The first thing that came to my mind was Mystery Pill, an improv. noise band I was in with two friends, and we often had a lot more people but the 3 person MP line up is what it really reminded me of, not that we were in this league, but you know...
How can you go wrong with an album that reminds you of yourself and two good friends getting fucked up and making noise to please only yourselves? If you know how much fun that is you'll understand. Bands who pander to the audience miss the whole fucking point.
This is also the Dead C as about accessible as they get, even though it is a live recording (Harsh 70's Reality era...another album you need if you don't have it). Maybe it's because it IS a live recording that the instruments are more separated and they come across more like some other "band" than their records show them to be (?). If this isn't structured enough for you then you better run for the hills. Honesty and improv. experimentation aren't for everyone, unfortunately.

This 7" has another version of "Power" and "Bad Politics," possibly the Dead C at their most "punk," from the Sun Stabbed EP.
