Shit Spangled Banner
Before the dawn of (Sunburned Hand Of The) mankind, there was the Shit Spangled Banner. With time, these microscopic individuals evolved into somewhat erect homo sapiens who would feed on moss accumulated on sedentary rocks. Eventually the monkeys figured out that by knocking two femur bones together, you could produce sound. It was only natural then for monkey one to ask monkey two to join him and soon enough, Shit Spangled Banner was born. Their sound is extremely primitive and noisy with a touch of dumbass-jock attitude (like early Butthole Surfers), but for fans of truly heavy stoner rock and overall weirdness, this is manna from heaven. It might sound incoherent at first, but deep inside this incredible mess, there is some serious ass-kicking going on. Feels like that black monolith toppling over and crushing you. Unfortunately, pretty everything the Shit Spangled Banner has released is impossible to find: fifty copies, one hundred copies, 12 copies!!!!? I've known about their full length debut for the longest of time, No Dolby No DBX which was released over ten years ago on Ecstatic Peace. Due to it's rarity, I never saw it for less than a hundred bucks and I wasn't sure I was ready to put so much money on something I was so unsure about. When the group finally re-released the CD-R version on their own Manhand label, I couldn't pass up the chance, but once, again, event his version is extremely limited.
