Not for the faint-hearted: Floridas SEWER ZOMBIES. Totally out of tune barrage of noise with incredible lyrics (“They died with their Willie Nelson T-shirts on”). After a 10 seconds Google-research, I stumbled over a site dedicated to “Ron Johnson Records” (who re-released this LP in England in 1987). Some dork said that this was a Napalm Death / Extreme Noise Terror rip-off which is of course total bollocks.
Strange that noise and low-fi music seems to be adored only if it’s not too noisy and arty-farty enough. Bands like the SEWER ZOMBIES (and DÖDEN and DEAD and CYANAMID and ATTA and LAMA and APATHETIC etc.) will one day get their piece of the cult-cake too, I’m sure – but time’s not yet ready for them!
Time for some art:

Many moons ago I recorded the “Willie Nelson” track off John Peel and then bought their “Galaxy” LP. It disappointed me as it was less frantic.

I found this album on soulseek and it completely rocks! A shame this is so overlooked though. They kinda remind me of Cancerous Growth in a weird way.

Erich, who are ATTA and APATHETIC? My mate purchased the UK press of the Sewer Zombies LP from a junkie outside the Hackney Tesco. My mate passed it onto me saying I’d love it-sure enough-my mind was melted.

I played on the 2nd LP-guitar on ‘Haitian Vacation’ and a GoGos cover ‘Into the light’ As I recall I was introduced to the songs in the studio and set loose-thu its been many years I could be wrong. Mark Subversive (a middle aged guy from Canada who collected beer cans and road kill taxidermy) was basically the band. Others were various Ft Lauderdale punks and freaks who acted as a studio band
