These meatheads are pretty much Buffalo's best band right now, at least until Plates return to action and the two of them battle it out for WNYHC supremacy. Brown Sugar have done great things for the Buffalo scene and they are loved by all. This tape repeats their long OOP debut 7", along with a collection of demos, living room jackoffery and live cuts from throughout their brief yet fruitful existence. If you haven't heard the EP, it's fantastic, and one of the finer hardcore-punk slashers of the past couple of years. The guitar kid really knows how to riff it up, I enjoy the lackadaisacal but effectively raw performance of the foreigner on the vocals, and the rhythm section is a blur of rage and facial hair. The bonus tracks they tack on are an audio biography of a bunch of kids messing around in a basement and their evolution into a bunch of kids messing around on a stage. the american dream on cassette. Look out for their 2XLP to be hitting the shelves sometime this year, supposedly a concept album based on the works of James Joyce, and check this tape out until then, since they have no other merch for sale anyway! Nicely screened slipcovers and insert. I have beef with them repping the West Side though, as their turf is strictly Northwest B-Lo. Get in where you fit in fellas.(RK)
