I'm not sure if this has been posted before, I just thought it would be interesting to fans of Harry Pussy in general.
Pop Cruds
A Google search of the words "Pop Cruds" yields a scant 6 results, pretty obscure, eh? The Pop Cruds were an early Florida punk band that appeared on only 2 tape compilations released by TPOS records. TPOS records was the in-house label of the notorious band Broken Talent. The Pop Cruds was guitarist Marky Awesome's pre-Broken Talent band. Marky Awesome grew up and formed Harry Pussy, who gained some notoriety by being voted "Worst Band in America" by Spin magazine. This precipitated some serious ball washing by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth who brought Harry Pussy on tour. The Pop Cruds played very lo-fi primitive punk rock with songs about sexy robots, peeping toms, nihilism, and a guy with a penchant for sitting on cats. The Pop Cruds made most of these recordings on an old 2-track recorder and I ripped this myself from a 23 year old tape so don't expect much, but the charm and spirit of the Pop Cruds shines through. If anyone has a copy of the "Music To Kill Braincells By" tape pictured here, please make me a copy or sell me yours. I'm dying to hear the Verbal Circus songs again. Pop Cruds here:
