U-Men

Recorded
1984-1994
Released

Presenting a nearly complete studio discography (aside from a song from an obscure Christmas song tape comp from 1984), U-Men draws together their Step On a Bug album plus all the various singles, EPs and compilation appearances from the Seattle band’s decade-long career. While often claimed as forebears of grunge they don’t exactly sound the stereotypical part, favoring garage rock vibes infused with post-punk/Birthday Party-ish brawl, accentuated by John Bigley’s whooping and screeching vocals and often shattering guitar by Tom Price.
