Screaming Blue Messiahs Discography of CDs

Screaming Blue Messiahs music CDs The Messiahs' follow-up to GUN-SHY was this devastating hunk of noise, which didn't pull any punches when it came to raw emotion and intensity. Side One, especially, is a rave-up, from the gut-bustin' raunch of "Sweet Water Pools" to the closer "Big Brother Muscle."

Screaming Blue Messiahs discography The final chunk of squalling guitar rant from the Screaming Blue Messiahs doesn't reach the relentless highs of Bikini Red, but it's pure mania nonetheless, and a sure shot for those who lapped up the first two waxings. The titles alone ("All Gassed Up" and "Four Engines Burning [Over the USA]") clue you in ...
