Vivians, “Vivicide” (Hit And Run, 1989)
Great lost Cleveland band in the heavy post-punk style prevalent on the eve of the Alternative Era, but these women blast with a dark desperation worthy of their hometown pioneers (Pere Ubu, Elecric Eels, Pagans, etc.). rumbling night-drives that hit hardcore velocity at times, but heighten the drama with bruised melodies that open into spaces of surprising beauty.
