L.A. 80's under my skin...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pagan Icons (Audio CD)
An awesome band from the 80's with an unprecedented sound, made all the more jazz/noir by the guitar genius of Joe Biaza. If The Doors were shifted to the eighties (and not the sixties or seventies)- they would sound like Saccharine Trust.But ST are very original in their 'washed-up' street blues/punk, and are a band which helps to define the SST label perhaps more than any other. The last song- 'Human Certainty'- still gives me the chills. I remember those early-mid eighties days, those hot LA summer nights, and having thoughts like these...

GREAT RECORD,
By Nick K. (Larisa, Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pagan Icons (Audio CD)
One of the first post-hardcore bands and records(1981). Every song is amazing.The other records are great too. More jazz influenced and more experimental.The songs here are short,dark with great riffs.A different hardcore record.

key insight into l.a. punk scene,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pagan Icons (Audio CD)
This '81 early SST release really shows the diversity of a scene already getting a "reputation". To paraphrase Mike Watt in the Minutemen chapter in "Out Band Could Be Your Life" , "What was the thing about throwing toilet seats onstage at the time?" Anyway, this particular release contains the 100% punk anthem "I Am Right" and an epic slice-of-life closer, : A Human Certainty" that will clue you into what it was like to be broke and on drugs in LA at that time. A must for those interested in the early SST scene.
