Sweet Pea - Chicks Hate Wes

Back in the infant stages of this blog I talked a bit about Distorted Pony and their absolute noisy brilliance. To sort of continue on with that post today, I wanted to mention the album that David Uskovich did with the band he formed after Distorted Pony called Sweet Pea. They weren’t around very long at all, but they did release their only album Chicks Hate Wes on Trance Syndicate in 1996 before breaking up. I am pretty sure most of the members went on and joined Uskovich in forming his later band SWITCHhITTER, however their sound was a step away from the sludgy distorted mayhem that was commonplace within Distorted Pony and Sweet Pea. But anyway, Sweet Pea is sort of a lesser known project that may have been overlooked and their one album together is definitely worth checking out for those that are fans of noise rock with a shit ton of low end, and especially if you like Slug.

For those interested or for anyone that hasn’t ever picked this up, it can be had for pretty cheap used over at Amazon. I’d definitely recommend it.
