Fake Train

Description

After the Pacific Northwest grunge raids of the early 90s that saw Nirvana, Mudhoney, and even the Melvins hoisted up the major label flagpole, Unwounds 1993 debut came as a welcomed reprieve for underground noise-niks everywhere. A pulsing cluster of wiry feedback, lurching bass, and single stroke rolls, Fake Train entangles the energies of frustrated backpack emo, faded Riot Grrrl back issues, and their own dash of teen spirit and unleashes it all in an earsplitting 10-song assault.

Comes on like an homage to Wires 1 2 X U as filtered through Minor Threat and a broken bottle of Robitussin. Pitchfork

Its no contest: Unwound is the best band of the 90s. A.V. Club
