Dope, Guns & Fucking In The Streets: 1988-1998 Volume 1-11

Over the course of a decade, Amphetamine Reptile Records — a Minneapolis label that released albums by Cows, Helios Creed, Boss Hog, and many more, including Helmet’s debut — put out a series of 7” EPs that featured a wide range of grunge and noise-rock acts. This double CD, which collects the original 11 volumes (several more were released 20 years later, to diminishing aesthetic returns), offers close to 50 slabs of warped, throbbing, screeching underground rawk by Cows, Boredoms, Mudhoney, Halo Of Flies, Tad, God Bullies, Lubricated Goat, the Jesus Lizard, and many more. The louder you play this album, the dirtier you’ll feel — in the best way.
