The Untold Fables - Let Me Know
From Orange County, California.
The Untold Fables were one of the many specks of stardust left by the passing of the garage-punk comet of the Eighties.
There are four of them: Paul Carey on vocals, harmonica, and maracas, Jon Niederbrach on guitar, Robert Butler on bass, and Paul Sakry on drums.
They play well for what the genre requires, so much so that their services are sought after by the entire local neogarage community, from the Fourgiven to Yard Trauma to the Miracle Workers, with whom Robert will end up playing regularly with Overdose.
It’s Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion who produces their debut album.
Lee Joseph, on the other hand, is the one who releases it, under his Dionysus label.
It’s the first album that Lee distributes for Mordam, after breaking away from Greg Shaw’s Bomp!
It’s a dirty punk record like those of Eyes (a major obsession for the band, NdLYS), Count Five, Pretty Things, and Shadows of Knight twenty years earlier, with a perfect balance between originals and period pieces, all immersed in storms of fuzz (Girl of My Own, Other Fish, Rockhead) or in tempests of maracas and cymbals (Let Me Know, Revenge, You’re Hated very close to the insane spirit of the Primates, Gone My Way). A jungle of greasy R ‘n B and killer fuzz songs.
A basket full of rattlesnakes angered by the dust burning their eyes.
