The Gruesomes - Je Cherche
La Fraaaans
If you're not in the mood… trust the Reverend who never gets it wrong
With their exaggerated hairdos and their trashy morbidity, the Gruesomes were to Canada what the Gravedigger V were to the Californian garage scene: subtly debauched teenagers drawn to an unhealthy passion for a sixties imagery of filth that they would never renounce, even as the whole neogarage scene collapsed around them. Gruesomology is therefore above all a tribute to their consistency but also offers a comprehensive snapshot of their historical period, from their participation in It Came from Canada to Live in Hell! in 1989, stuff that each of you should make sure to have and, above all, understand.
They were the technical zero.
Pure teenage exuberance drowned in a visceral love for the most vehement garage punk and the most dilapidated R 'n B.
They were passion turned into a living thing, gripping you by the throat.
25 pearls of wisdom, no nonsense.
