John Smith

1995?? Check out songs from Self titled 7" Draggin Tracks Maximum Rock n Roll "The cover swears "18 Gear Grinding Tunes." I'd agree. The visual theme throughout the CD suggests drag/punk songs about cars but the reality is much more variety. GARLAND, JOHN SMITH, THE TRANS AMS AND FREEDOM FIGHTERS are among the lesser known bands on this compilation who I'm now a big fan of. Like the comp says, "Cut a Fat One" (to run at top speed) and pick up a copy." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOHN SMITH/BOSSK - split EP Both bands deliver the meat on this packaged deal. Both bands have that Midwest grinding stop/start approach. Gives me a taste of GODHEADSILO and HAMMERHEAD. This is the second vinyl appearance of JOHN SMITH. This is the kind of brutal heavy sludge that you would find in small towns across the U.S.A. Well worth the 3 bones. Driving, strange yet compulsive noise all at once. (SM)
