Sorry, fam. Between vacation, catching up on work and the other various excuses that adults use to talk themselves out of fun, I haven't made any time to give you new music to listen to. So let me rectify this!
Trenchmouth is notable for a few reasons. Damon Locks gets a shoutout in the liner notes for Fiestas + Fiascos, which is the first time I'd ever heard of him (I'm a youngblood. What do you want from me?). Fred Armisen, star of stage & screen, played drums for them. And I heart Fred Armisen.
But, mostly, they were a kick-ass post-punk band from Chicago who cut a bunch of records, had some ties to Baltimore & DC and should be a helluva lot more appreciated these days. ...Vs. The Light Of The Sun is Trenchmouth's third full-length. Skene! released this one in conjunction with EastWest Records. It always cracks me up to see which punk rock bands got signed back in the early 90's. EastWest had Trenchmouth & Sick Of It All on their roster in 1994. Yep, someone totally got fired from their A&R job.
Anyway, I think I picked this up for $2 at Soundgarden back in 1999, then promptly misplaced the actual CD for about 7 years. My copy also came with a most excellent obi strip, which I feel is a most underutilized add-on for CDs. File this under excellent housecleaning music.

I s'pose I should point out that the link you gave is for Fiestas and Fiascos and not Trenchmouth, and I'm assuming from the picture/title/general direction of the post that that isn't what you were going for.
but hey! liftr pullr's pretty neat!
I linked you guys up - had I known you linked me, I would have linked you sooner ;)
I look forward to hearing that Triac 7"/CD release, Ape Mummy!
thanks
