Search - Headcases :: Castaway But Blessed

"Everything's here: vocals on fire, melodies on the razor's edge, precarious equilibrium between power and mildness." -- Abus Dangereux Created in the late '90s by three thirteen-year-old grunge addicts lost in the country, Headcases soon became a local UFO with its exacting noise pieces. Introducing more pop melodies and classical song structures, Headcases has the energy of '90s Sub Pop bands as well as the spirit of Touch & Go or Dischord bands. The trio played with No Means No, Chokebore, The Paper Chase, and Q and Not U while composing the explosive tunes of Castaway But Blessed. It was spring in Chicago when the band entered Electrical Audio Studio with John Congleton to record these songs. Six days were enough for the three French rednecks to discover American junk food, junk wine, and non-alcoholic junk beer while putting a dozen titles on tape. And how to define Headcases' music ... Power post grunge? Noisy pop core? Post this? Pre that? Regardless, the trio plays good amplified music and hits the road with fury, all for the sake of rock `n' roll.
