Roach by Sunburned Hand of the Man

Seriously! What the FUCK is that thing on the cover!? It creeps me out! Three songs here, including the mammoth St Francis: a half-hour's worth of droning, ranting, feedbacking, rumbling, puking, defiling, corrupting insanity. Listening to this track with a lucid mind might induce schizophrenia as it most certainly will cause a short circuit in the brain. Some beats do come in at approximately ten minutes in to make some sense out of this clutter, but it's all very unstable. This track is easily the best of the lot as the two shorter tracks sound like a mindless mess of fuck-all noise and shit. Quite confusing and not all that rewarding. Machine is slightly more interesting than it's predecessor. It's an unrelenting five minute punkish, anarchistic noise rock assault which will pierce your eardrums and leave permanent damage. CD-R comes in a jewel case with hideous artwork all glued and cut up haphazardly. Not sure if this is limited.

Roach - Manhand 54 - 2007
This was recorded live at the Nightlight, Carrboro, North Carolina in March 2007. Sunburned toured to SXSW and back. This was back when the Nightlight was still a bookstore and Paul dressed like a Time-Traveller complete with a cape, low-rider top hat, and guyliner.

I think it was the first or second time we'd played there. The line-up for this show was: MJK, Paul Labrecque, John Moloney, Sarah O' Shea & Taylor Richardson. 'St. Francis' lyrics were shouted out of a kid's book with the same title that Moloney took off the shelf behind the stage. 'Machine' is Black Flag cover. Cory Rayborn provided the recording here. A fun show for us.
