AmRep 25th Anniversary Bash at Grumpy's Bar & Grill
New York gore aficionados Unsane helped pioneer the late-‘80s noise-rock movement, blending Sonic Youth-style Sturm und Drang with straightforward hardcore, resulting in a small legion of fans, a short stint with Atlantic Records, and nearly 20 years on the road. Its super-sludgy 1995 release, Scattered, Smothered & Covered, spawned a video for “Scrape” that featured a slew of grisly looking skateboarding accidents pre-Jackass, which ran in heavy rotation on MTV at the time and ramped up the network’s raw aggression quotient by a good 10 percent. Expect an aural version of that same vicious assault on the senses here.
