about

**Only available here on Bandcamp!** (originally released on Glitterhouse, Pandemonium, and BIBrecords).

****Warning of face blowout****


After the mostly slow, mostly warm, mostly bummerfest of Mangled, Reject Me First, and Underwhelmed, SW wakes up and records a wild '70's type guitar-rock freakout with Boston's premier rock-freakout trio:

Rick Gilbert -- (Human Sexual Response, The Zulus, Concussion Ensemble, Frank Black and the Catholics, the Jack White/Wanda Jackson Band)

Larry Dersch -- (Morphine, Concussion Ensemble, Roger Miller)

Rich Cortese -- (Zulus, Concussion Ensemble, Barrence Whitfield).

Add in his soon-to-be wife, Christine Geisler, on a bit of acoustic guitar and backing vocals, and the Mastermind Pete Weiss on some keys and there you are.

There are little snippets of recording studio chatter, mostly war stories of being arrested in drag, passing out onto a turntable, etc..that add to the zeitgeist.

1996 , without sherpas, leaving for the mountaintops of rawk was a gang at the crest of their musicians powers, keeping the extreme nature of the 3 guitar solo trainride on at least one rail. "I threw the cops the trombone, but I wasn't coming down from that tree".

Too loud and you risk a Brainwreck.
