We Are Amused

Also making a comeback is SST Records - all the way from POB 1 in Lawndale, California - haven't heard from these guys since all those punk bands on vinyl back in the '80s. Once again, what year is it? Label founder Greg Ginn has a new one - it's Greg Ginn and the Royal We - the album is "We Are Amused" and you should have guessed the label by now. It's industrial strength, propulsive instrumental rock, projecting power - sort of like the soundtrack for an M1 Abrams tank rolling through some Third World village - yeah, that or it's a solid three a.m. speed freak soundtrack, just so right for scrubbing the bathroom tiles most frantically with a tired toothbrush.
