Charm City Suicides - Charm City Suicides (2000)

Though their run was relatively short and very few people outside of Baltimore ever heard them, in certain circles within The Greatest City in America, the Charm City Suicides are the stuff of legends. Raw, fun, noisy garage-punk with an electric, infectious energy. And it might sound silly, but for those who have lost too many loved ones to heroin, shouting along to the chorus of should-be classic "Heroin Sucks" can feel extremely cathartic. Low bit-rate rip, but it's a lo-fi recording anyway so don't be an anus about it.

Track listing:
1. The Worst
2. 9/6/99
3. Still Can't Get Paid
4. I Wanna Get with You
5. Vicious Circle
6. Pit of Sorrow
7. Rise and Shine
8. Out at the Reservoir
9. Now Is the Time
10. Pesticides Rock
11. Heroin Sucks

But now you're gone

    1. Holy shit I was at that show! Coulda sworn it was already the Talking Head at that point but maybe not. Either way, one of the few time I successfully saw pg.99 as they had this habit of cancelling at the last minute every time I went to see them.
