Years and Years ago I stumbled upon a new record label while unemployed.
Man's Ruin was a turnin' point in my listening career and I had to thank Mr. Kozik, esq. for the opportunity to hear some of the best bands to ever be recorded:
Beaver - To this day one of the few bands that I can never tire of when listening too. They called it quits within the last two years, but the releases on MR are gold and worth seeking out.
Acid King - female lead + sludgy hard rock = sonic goodness! If you're around NYC in two weeks you'll have a rare opportunity to get pummled. I've waited for 6 years to see 'em and ain't nuthin' gonna stop me.
Lost Goat - what is it about chicks who can hold their own and rock? A must listen
And a ton more...most are now DOA, which leaves me misty-eyed but at least we were able to get some of them when the gettin' was good.
