Search - Saccharine Trust :: Worldbroken

Free jazz, punk rock, and bad beat poetry meet in the fractured, adventurous music of Saccharine Trust. Guitarist Joe Baiza (later with October Faction and Universal Congress Of) was perhaps the most daring axeman of the SST crew--blending Greg Ginn's churn, John McLaughlin's passion, Blood Ulmer's funk, and Jimi Hendrix's volume. He found a willing partner in atonal vocalist Jack Brewer, who spewed his freeform ramblings with similar attitude and invention--if not similar success. This difficult dose finds them improvising through an album's worth of live rants accompanied by the sinewy bass of Minutemen/fIREHOSE kingpin Mike Watt. The uninitiated might start with something half a degree tamer, like We Became Snakes. --Michael Ruby
