The band’s original \nlineup consisted of guitarist\/vocalist Greg Anderson, drummer Chris \nVandebrooke and bassist Art Behrman. They had all been in hardcore\/punk \nbands around town, and all had a burning desire to create a sound that \nwas unlike anything they had done in the past. After just a few months, \nthey quickly recorded and self-released the “Novocaine” 7inch. Circa \n’92, Behrman was replaced by Brian (Krafty) Kraft, a bassist and close \nfriend of Anderson, who he had made music with in other bands. At that \nmoment, the entire aesthetic and execution of sound became heavier, \ndarker and extremely dynamic.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe power trio was picked up by local label C\/Z records and set out upon\n recording the new music they were quickly creating. The band had two \nreleases on C\/Z in 1993. Their first offering was the Astronaut five \nsong EP recorded by John Goodmanson. The songs were primitive and \nexemplified the bands worship of Slint and the quiet\/loud song structure\n methodology. In the summer of ’93 the band drove to Chicago to record \nwith their hero Steve Albini, in the basement of his house. They emerged\n with the eight-song album they called: “Bear Catching Fish.” Albini \nintuitively captured the band exactly as they were at that moment: RAW, \nVULNERABLE, \u0026amp;\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" style=\"\"\u003e MAMMOTH.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShortly after the album’s release Jade Devitt replaced Vandebrooke on \ndrums. This transition was crucial in the second phase of the group. \nDevitt was an absolute beast, and his power helped launch the band miles\n beyond where they had ever been before. The sound of “The Kid” started \nto transform into a sound much more of their own. The three dudes were \nhell bent on pushing the bounds of sonic exploration to its fullest. \nSuddenly there was an abundance of depth within the sounds they were \ncreating. Eclectic influences of punk\/hardcore (Black Flag, Die \nKreuzen), Metal (Entombed, Carcass) and even jazz (Mahavishnu Orchestra,\n Miles Davis electric era) were on a full collision course with the \nalready dynamically heavy foundation of the band. The levee had broken \nand the resulting flood of sound completely saturated everything in it’s\n path.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEngine Kid toured their asses off. They were constantly on the road - \nplaying every nook, cranny and shit-hole they possibly could. Any moment\n not on the road was spent focused on making their new material as \nlethal as possible. In early ’94 the band decided to pay homage to their\n mutual love of jazz\/fusion and recorded three instrumental pieces that \nwould become a split album with like minded powerhouse, Iceburn. The \nEngine Kid\/Iceburn album showcased each groups love of jazz loosely \nframed by the intense enthusiasm of underground music. The album was \nreleased by Revelation records in 1994.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDuring the summer of ’94 the band reconvened with producer John \nGoodmanson at Bad Animals and AVAST! studios to record the new material \nthat was literally bleeding out of the reinvigorated trio. The songs \nrecorded were much more progressive, heavier, harder and more focused \nthan past works. They even tackled John Coltrane’s “OLE,” adding \nsaxophone and trumpet from their brothers in Silkworm. In March of 1995,\n Revelation records released these recordings as the “Angel Wings” \nalbum. Unfortunately “The Kid” flew too close to the sun, and broke up \nvery shortly after the album’s release.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHere we are almost 30 years later, and it has taken every day of every \nmonth of every year of that time passed for the dust storms the band \ncreated to have settled. Maybe now it’s possible for the enormity of \ntheir creation to be comprehended.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNOW is the time to honor and celebrate the mountains formed and the canyons created.\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Lord Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56595554992454,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2300\/6790\/files\/a2887901455_10.jpg?v=1778920313","url":"https:\/\/selfmadegod-store.com\/products\/engine-kid-angel-wings-2xlp-black","provider":"Selfmadegod Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
