| | Hey Drag City CD
HEY DRAG CITY is a compilation of previously-unreleased songs by Drag City artists commemorating the label's fifth anniversary.
Hey Drag City collects songs from Drag City's early-'90s roster, which included bands like Desert Storm, King Kong, Burnout, Fruitcake, and Mantis. Many of the label's better-known bands contribute the album's highlights; Pavement's "Nail Clinic" shows off the group's early, unraveled art-punk sound, and Smog's "Your Face" is one of Bill Callahan's creepiest, yet most affecting, songs. Palace's shambling "For the Mekons Et Al," the Silver Jews' "Famous Eyes," and Royal Trux's untitled piece also rank among the best songs from this snapshot of Drag City's early years. ~ Heather PharesAlternative Press (3/95, p.58) - "...Drag City is home to many of low-fidelity rock's maestros and on this fifteen-track sampler they bestow some of their best (and most obscure) material....one of the best label comps you'll ever hear..."
NME (Magazine) (10/29/94, p.46) - 8 - Excellent - "...The cheeriest thing about this compilation is that it's thoroughly listenable and witty, when one might have anticipated the...obscurity knocks approach..." Hey Drag City Songs | 1. | For the Mekons et. Al. - The Palace Brothers |

$21.94
When Anthrax released AMONG THE LIVING in 1987, the band was a part of a then-burgeoning heavy metal sub-genre called speed or thrash metal. This was an inversion of glam metal. The band members wore worn-out jeans and T-shirts, their long hair was hairspray-free, and not a smudge of make-up was applied to their unsightly mugs. Their music was dense, borrowing speed from punk and hardcore and mammoth guitar riffing from metal, and featured thought-provoking lyrics. AMONG THE LIVING not only served as Anthrax's commercial breakthrough, ...

Hey Drag City
$9.29
John Entwistle's solo career has never been particularly outstanding in terms of songwriting quality. His complicated, yet rhythmic bass playing has always shone through, however. This is also the case with Too Late the Hero. Lyrically, the album is weak, to say the least. Musically, it's impressive, but makes for a rather unspectacular listen. Joe Walsh and Joe Vitale, on guitar and drums, respectively, help some in adding to the albums worth, but not even they can save this downright boring release. The uniting of these three musical stalwarts would seem like something of a dream proposition back in the '70s. Here, however, the result is an unmemorable album that is even more disappointing considering it had the potential to be something big. Too Late the Hero was John Entwistle's last solo release for 15 years. It's easy to see why. ~ Ben Davies
