Search - The Fuses :: The Fuses Are Lies

The second full length from these Baltimore icons of new wave/art punk. Compared to the Proletariat, Mission of Burma, Wire, and others, The Fuses have been called "without exception, the best hardcore punk band in the galaxy" and "true leaders of a new wave of American punk rock bands" (Rock and Roll Outbreak #2). Recorded in glorious analog at the soon-to-be famous ACR studios (Poem Rocket, Lungfish, Roads To Space Travel, more) for a sound so explosive it seems to strain your speakers even at low volume. Idiosyncratic, but still occasionally melodic guitars, a rumbling bass, and some of the best drumming you're ever likely to hear (seriously!). Reconstructed rock for the bored post-modernist.
