Crust - Food Eater (album download) / Kittens - Bazooka and the Hustler
After posting about Crust not too long ago, I ended up with a few inquiries about their final album Food Eater, which I think was briefly available online but to my understanding has long since been unavailable. Since it’s nowhere to be found on the net and there are no physical copies of the album that I am aware of, I’ve went ahead and made it available on here for awhile. I don’t know how long I’ll have it up, but for the time being feel free to grab Crust’s final album Food Eater. The quality isn’t the greatest; however it’s definitely better than nothing. So check it out.

Moving on…
Kittens were a noise-rock trio from Winnipeg, Canada. They released some early cassettes before signing to Sonic Unyon through which they put out a few more albums before calling it quits. Their high water mark, in my opinion, was their second album Bazooka and the Hustler which was released in 1997. The band played a pretty good variation of the dirty and grimy sound that bands on the AmRep and Touch & Go rosters were so commonly known for. An interesting part of the bands sound was that they had a slight western, or possibly even a bit of a bit of country influence in the mix. However, on Bazooka and the Hustler the band leaves very little time for that to really sink in, as their style is more of a no holds barred type that just flat out rocks. If these guys didn’t consume a lot alcohol during their time together, I would be shocked. Regardless, check out some of the tunes below…
Kittens – Great Dane [MP3]
Kittens – Orca [MP3]
Kittens – Sleeping Beauty [MP3]
It appears that Bazooka and the Hustler is still available through Sonic Unyon, however I can’t directly link you to it thanks to the flash setup they have going on over there, so those that want to find it will have to search their webstore, but I assure you it’s there. I wholly recommend picking up anything else that is available, as really anything that the Kittens put out is worth owning, some vastly overlooked mid nineties noise-rock goodness.

Thanks for the post about one of my all-time favourite bands. I think that Bazooka is their third 'official' album though, the first was a self-released disc called Doberman. It has different recordings of a lot of the same songs that ended up as the Lo-Fi Rarities... disc.
