5.IF NOT LYRIX, SONGTITLES, THEN A STATEMENT - WHY NOT: OUR BAND HAS NOTHING TO SAY,

WE JUST PLAY THE MUSIC WE WANT TO.

WE MAKE UP 95% OF OUR SONGS AS WE GO ALONG.

WE ARE NOT A POLITICAL BAND. WE AREN'T A BAND

THAT TELLS YOU WHAT LIFE-STYLE TO LIVE.

WE ARE JUST A BAND TO LISTEN TO, OR WATCH.

WE ARE A BAND YOU CAN EITHER LIKE OR HATE.

WE DON'T REALLY CARE WHICH.

WE PLAY GOOD HONEST BLURCORE.

THE DRUMS AREN'T SPEEDED UP.

 THE VOCALS AREN'T LOWERED OR COVERED WITH EFFECTS.

IT IS JUST THE WAY WE LIKE THE SOUND.

ALSO, PLEASE DON'T CALL US "GRINDCORE"

BECAUSE WE THINK THAT TERM IS TOTALLY STUPID!!!

THE BAND WAS FORMED FOR ONE SHOW.

AND SOMEHOW, WE'VE GOTTEN TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.

IT'S A BAND TO HAVE FUN WITH AND ENJOY,

AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, LISTEN TO SOMETHING ELSE!!!

SINCE WE DON'T WANT TO PROGRESS AS A BAND

>BY GETTING MORE MUSICAL<,

AND WE DON'T WANT TO MILK THE BAND

>DOING THE SAME THING FOREVER<,

ANAL CUNT WILL BE BREAKING UP IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR.

BEFORE WE BREAK UP, WE WANT TO PLAY EUROPE

>HELP US !!!< AND PUT OUT A FULL LENGTH ALBUM.

SO TO SUM UP THE WHOLE STATEMENT,

ENJOY OUR "MUSIC" OR HATE IT !!! --- IT'S UP TO YOU --- THANXXX FOR BUYING THIS SPLIT 7", AND GOODBYE

 

6 --- HOW MANY SONGS :

WE DIDN'T BOTHER TO COUNT THEM.

IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

IT SHOULD ALL BE LISTENED TO AT ONCE.

BUT IF YOU REALLY CARE,

THERE IS BETWEEN 40 AND 50 SONGS.

 

7. --- THANX LIST : SPECIAL THANXXX TO THE FOLLOWING

8. --- RECORDED ON MAY 29TH 1989/

PRODUCED BY MARC LINDAHL AND ANAL CUNT.

OH NO !!! I WAS JUST RE-READING YOUR LETTER

AND I >SETH< FORGOT TO WRITE THE BAND HISTORY !!!

HERE IT IS :

ANAL CUNT FORMED IN MARCH OF 1988.

VOCALIST SETH MADE UP THE NAME ANAL CUNT

AND THOUGHT THE NAME WAS PRETTY FUNNY,

SO HE DECIDED TO MAKE UP A BAND

JUST HE COULD USE THE NAME ANAL CUNT.

SETH WAS IN ANOTHER NOISE-BAND,

BUT THEY STARTED GETTING TOOOOO MUSICAL,

SO HE WANTED TO OUT-DO ANY OTHER BAND

AND JUST HAVE A BAND THAT PLAYED

AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE,

HAD NO LYRIX,NO SONGTITLES, NO MUSIC,

JUST TOTAL HORRIBLE NOISE.

SETH WANTED TO SING >SCREAM<,

SO HE CALLED UP HIS FRIENDS MIKE AND TIM

AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF ANAL CUNT

AND THEY AGREED TO TRY IT OUT.

THEY GOT TOGETHER THE 1ST TIME IN TIM'S CELLAR

AND PRACTICED PLAYING AS FAST, NOISY

AND AS TALENTLESS AS POSSIBLE.

AFTER A FEW MORE PRACTICES,

THEY GOT FASTER AND TIGHTER.

THEY WANTED TO PLAY ONE SHOW

JUST 50 PEOPLE COULD SEE

HOW TOTALLY HORRIBLE THEY WERE MUSICALLY,

COMBINED WITH A HIGHLY ENERGETIC,

VIOLENT STAGE PRESENCE.

THEY FIGURED THAT THEY WOULD BREAK UP

AFTER THAT ONE SHOW > WHICH WAS A FREE SHOW,

AND BROADCAST LIVE OVER A LOCAL COLLEGE RADIOSTATION< AND WOULD BE THE END OF IT.

BUT A BUNCH OF THEIR FRIENDS DIDN'T SHOW UP.

SO THEY PLAYED A SHOW IN A WAREHOUSE

WHERE SOME FRIENDS OF THIS BAND >SHIT SCUM<

PRACTICED TWO DAYS LATER. AFTER THAT SHOW

>WHICH ANAL CUNT AND SHIT SCUM PLAYED< ,

PEOPLE AT THE SHOW DECIDE TO HAVE A BIGGER SHOW

WITH MORE TOTAL NOISE BANDS PLAYING.

1 MONTH LATER THE FIRST

"MONSTER OF SHIT" SHOW TOOK PLACE.

MEANWHILE ANAL CUNT DECIDED TO RECORD A 7 INCH

WITH AROUND 100 SONGS ON IT,

BUT BEFORE THAT, THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY

IF THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH DOING

A MINI TOUR ACROSS SOME OF THE U.S.....

SO WITHOUT EVEN A DEMO-TAPE,

THEY BOOKED A 10 DAY MINI TOUR

AND PLAYED IN CONNECTICUT, PITTSBURGH >2 SHOWS<, ALABAMA AND FLORIDA.

ALSO DURING THIS TIME ANAL CUNT STARTED TO MILDLY "PROGRESS" BY "WRITIN" ABOUT 4-5 SONGS

WITH REAL MUSIC IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SONGS,

BUT STILL NO LYRIX OR SONGTITLES,

JUST TO BREAK THE MONOTONY.

ANAL CUNT ALSO HAS TO BOOK THEIR TOUR

UNDER THE NAME "A.C."

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CALL A CLUB AND SAY:

"HI, I'M CALLING FROM THE BAND ANAL CUNT, AND........"

SO IN A WAY, ANAL CUNT "SOLD OUT" A TINY BIT.

ANYWAYS, THE TOUR WENT WELL

AND THEY GOT GREAT RESPONCES.

ESPECIALLY SINCE NO ONE AT THE SHOWS

HAD ANY IDEA WHAT A.C. SOUNDED LIKE

>BEFORE THEY SAW A.C. PLAY<.

AS TIME WENT ON, A.C. STOPPED TAKING THE BAND

AS A TOTAL JOKE, AND STARTED TAKING IT SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY IN A WAY THAT THEY ARE SERIOUS

ABOUT SOUNDING AS NOISY AND HORRIBLE AS POSSIBLE.

THEY PRACTICE A LOT,

SO THEY CAN START AND STOP AT THE SAME TIME.

MIKE, SETH AND TIM BUILT UP SOMETHING

BETWEEN THE 3 OF THEM SO THEY CAN KNOW

WHEN TO START AND STOP TOGETHER

WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING OR MAKING ANY SIGNALS,

JUST SOMEHOW DOING IT.

ON NOVEMBER 20TH, 1988,

ANAL CUNT RECORDED THEIR 88 SONG 7 INCH DEBUT EP

AND IT WAS RELEASED IN FEBRUARY 1989

ON THEIR OWN LABEL: WICKED SICK RECORDS

>IT'S SOLD OUT BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS !!!<.

A.C. CONTINUED TO PLAY OUT-OF-STATE SHOWS,

INCLUDING INDIANA. TENNESSEE, AS WELL AS PLAYING

ALABAMA + PITTSBURGH OTHER TIMES AGAIN.

SURPRISINGLY, A.C. HAVE NEVER PLAYED IN BOSTON,

AND ARE PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN

IN THEIR HOME-STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS.

THE'VE NEVER EVEN BEEN MENTIONED IN THE BOSTON

SCENE REPORTS OF MAXIMUM ROCK'N'ROLL.......

ANAL CUNT'S STRONGEST PART OF THE BAND

ARE THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCES.

A.C. HAVE EARNED QUITE A REPUTATION

FROM THEIR LIVE SHOWS.

THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THEM ARE:

MANIAC, CHAOTIC, NOISY, INSANE, FUNNY ETC...

BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY GOOD ENOUGH.

YOU KIND OF JUST HAVE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELVES.

THAT'S WHY A.C. FEEL THEY HAVE TO PLAY

IN EUROPE BEFORE THEY BREAK UP.

BECAUSE HEARING THE RECORDS ARE ONLY PART OF IT,

AND A.C. HAVE PROBABLY SOLD MORE RECORDS

IN EUROPE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE.....

SO THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR THE PAST.

THE FUTUREPLANS ARE TOURING EUROPE, CALIFORNIA, PUTTING OUT A FULL LENGTH ALBUM

>WE DON'T KNOW WHAT LABEL YET< AND BREAKING UP.

WE ARE BREAKING UP BECAUSE

WE DON'T WANT TO PROGRESS ANY MORE MUSICALLY.

AND WE DON'T WANT TO DO THE SAME THING FOREVER,

AND BORE EVERYONE.

SO THE ONLY RIGHT THING TO DO IS

"QUIT WHILE WE ARE AHEAD". THAT'S ABOUT IT."

 

 

"15 OF THIS DISCS HAVE A HANDCOLORED COVER.

THEY AREN'T FOR SALE, JUST A GIFT TO VERY GOOD FRIENDS.

THE COVERS ARE IN THE TNT-COLORS!"

 

 

"IT WAS RECORDED ON MAY 29, 1989.

ME AND TIM THINK IT IS OUR WORST RECORD,

WHILE MIKE THINKS IT IS OUR BEST ONE.

IT WAS RECORDED AT BF/VF STUDIOS, AND AGAIN

CO-PRODUCED BY THE FABULOUS MARC LINDAHL.

I THINK THIS STUFF IS MUCH TOO OVER PRODUCED,

AND I PERSONALLY DON'T LIKE IT VERY MUCH.

THERE WAS 1000 OF THESE PRESSED."

"THIS WAS OUR 2ND VINYL RELEASE AND WAS RECORDED

BY MARC LINDAHL ON MAY 29, 1989

AT BF/VF STUDIOS IN BOSTON

AND MIXED BY MARC AND MYSELF.

THERE WERE 1000 OF THESE PRESSED ON

TOTAL NOISE TAPES AND RECORDS FROM GERMANY.

THIS HELPED US GET A LOT OF EXPOSURE IN EUROPE.

OUT OF THE ORIGINAL LINE-UP'S RECORDINGS, THIS IS

MIKE'S FAVORITE AND ME AND TIM'S LEAST FAVORITE."
