Tar

Musical Group

Chicago-based noise-rock/post-hardcore band, active 1988–1995. Associated with Amphetamine Reptile; the 1991 album Jackson was recorded with Steve Albini.

Tar is a Chicago noise-rock/post-hardcore group active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Reviews note a 1991 album Jackson recorded with Steve Albini and released with support from Amphetamine Reptile; the band toured with Jesus Lizard and had a split with Jawbox according to contemporary coverage.

The available review praises Tar's 1991 album Jackson for its stripped, essential noise-rock approach and steady rhythms. The band is compared to Jesus Lizard, Unsane and Jawbox, and the review notes production involvement by Steve Albini and release on Amphetamine Reptile. The writer laments the band's lack of wider recognition despite strong work.

For:Fans of 90s noise rock, post-hardcore, collectors of Amphetamine Reptile releases.

 Re-establish the hierarchies of the 90s, put an end to this sad story: you cannot ignore TAR and my thanks to the hopelessly freak souls, with vinyl walls at home, and to their advice.
