Album Review

The Bush Tetras made a couple of independent label EPs and a single in New York in the early '80s and then disappeared. The music was simple and relentless, as were the chanted messages of songs such as the seminal "Too Many Creeps." This was punk minimalism down to the point of amateurishness but no less compelling because of it. This belated compilation contains more than everything they put out -- there are unissued demos never heard before.
William Ruhlmann, Rovi
