SQUIRREL BAIT 'Squirrel Bait' LP

Eagerly awaited re-issue of this long lost mid-80s underground gem! Back in print via Drag City. Highly recommended by Poison City & a must FFO the early SST catalog, Husker Du, early Lemonheads, Mudhoney, Rites Of Spring +++

It happened fast. After a couple of records, guitarists David Grubbs and Brian McMahan split for BASTRO and SLINT (and Gastr del Sol and The For Carnation, respectively) With Grubbs went bassist Clark Johnson, original Bait batterie mate Britt Walford joined McMahan in SLINT. Leaving only the stuff of legend: records eternally exploding with youthful feels through all the endless winters and summers of hearts and minds.

Fantastic and underrated post-hardcore. Fits the classic 80’s style while simultaneously sounding 10 years ahead of its time.

It wouldn't surprise at all if Kurt Cobain listened to this before forming Nirvana, as vocally and instrumentally this is Nirvana before Nirvana was even thought of - the similarities on "Sun God" and "The Final Chapter" are uncanny.
