Bad Syd”/”Falling to Pieces

Vertigo, “Bad Syd”/”Falling to Pieces” (Amphetamine Reptile, 1989)
Great band at their early best, tonal fray-screech in the AmRep style but with a Velvetsish drone-guitar-pop aspect and a dead-end Midwest punk classicism (think Pagans) that make them distinctive among the works of their label-mates. A-side churns ominously, B-side just launches full-throttle off the runway and through the sound barrier.
A/1, B/a, YES!!
