HAMICKS, THE
"Ventriloquist Conartist"
FRAMED 1-2 CD $7.15

HATERS AND SCANNER, THE
"The Haters, Notably Scanner"
VC 171-2 CD $10.20
With every new release, THE HATERS implicate themselves as fetishists that celebrate entropy through noise, where there's nothing sexier or more life affirming than rot and decay. Always on the outlook for new and different ways to break things, this collaboration CD with the techno-voyeur SCANNER will suggest that even dead batteries can have a seductive nature.

VC 125-1 10" $8.55
VC 125-2 CD $10.20
America's premier noise crew presents the underground's newest and sexiest female comic-book superheros, the Piggy Girls. One rescues the other from arch-nemesis Grromp Man, an explosion ensues, and everything seems to be put right by the hubbub that blazed afterwards. Yes, it's noisy, and very absurd. The CD version also has their "Predetermined by Accident" and "Drops Ascending" 7"s. (VINYL COMMUNICATIONS)

HATERS, THE
"Drop Ascending"
VC 85-7 2x7" $6.15

HATERS, THE
"Drunk on Decay"
RR 6906-2 CD $10.10
One of the most ambient productions ever from one of the world's consistent proponents of noise and decay!

HATERS, THE
"Mind the Gap"
VC 107-2 CD $9.35
"The ultimate fuck-you to both normal America and trendy care-bear rebels" sez ThoraZine.

(VINYL COMMUNICATIONS)

HATERS, THE
"Nikumu"
SEX 59011-7 7" $4.55

HATERS, THE
"Ordinarily Nowhere"
PURE 31037-2 CD $8.00
Three rhymingly titled tracks of monolithic dense noise (the joyous sounds of smashing, crashing, and discarded radio signals trying to re-insinuate themselves into our lives), followed by a computerized voice waxing poetic about magnificence, beauty, and fires backed by basso profundo noise. (PURE)

HATERS, THE
"Predetermined by Accident"
VC 74-7 7" $3.90
Another in the recent parade of Haters releases, this has been liked to either a tribe chanting for a rain dance in hell or a printing press in desperate need on WD-40. In other words, classic Haters destructo noise! (VINYL COMMUNICATIONS)

HATERS, THE
"Sweet Austerity"
CFV 102-1 10" $8.40
In another valiant attempt at complete commercial non-viability, here's 4 cuts of prime, high cholesterol Haters noise! Noise fans are salivating at this, as are weird-format junkies, since two of the tracks run backwards, that is, from the center out! (COMMERCIAL FAILURE)

HATERS, THE
"Urban Sensitivity"
COMFAI 3-2 CD $10.70
The Haters take grinding wheels to live microphones, smash glass in abundance, and collage and loop the sounds of heavy machinery in this symphony of industrial noise. GX claims this is pop music, the rascal. (COMMERCIAL FAILURE)

HAVENOTS
"self titled"
REPENT 33-1 LP $8.40
Three boys, 3 chords! These Japanese STOOGE-thrashers come on like a head-on collision of TEENGENERATE and THE RAMONES, carefully recorded in the lowest possible fi, doing 12 "Killed By Death"-inspired blasts. Lyrics approximately in English. (REPENT)

HAVES, THE
"Coal Black"
SFTRI 370-7 7" $4.00
Another April March inspired slab o' rock, as she fronts LA garage-oids The Haves. Think suitably distorted vocals and questionably crummy guitar sound. (SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY)

With Donna Dresch at the controls, this Portland trio turns in 2 tunes that fall neatly along the K-to-Kill Rock Stars axis of grungy punk boy/girl singalongs. (CANDY ASS)

HEAD AND LEG
"In Your Dreams"
SEE 504-2 CD $9.65
Two guys from Boston use sound collage and spoken word in surreal examinations of the dream world, the waking world, the inner world, and that nagging feeling that you should have stayed in bed.

PRANK 028-2 CD $9.00
A volley of abrasive thrashing from the British Isles; overpowering blasts of hardcore fury; intense lyrics questioning Man's place at the end of the 20th century; technology, life and resistance.

Two of the four songs on this 22 minute EP also feature strong, rich female vocals providing a dreamy etherealness amidst the harmonic grind. Spanish import. (REPULSE)

HEAVENSIDE

"Split EP"
DD 017-7 7" $4.35
Huevos Rancheros oozes a surfin' tequila vibe with the potential of a car chase soundtrack. Vice Barons get blotto behind their own brand of surf grunge; you can almost feel the strain of their roadies holding them up (or is it the wrong speed?). Belgian import. (DEMOLITION DERBY)

These Boston guys have a big, hard rock sound with a definite early 70's slant. This is what hard rock was like before the image-mongers got ahold of it - direct, pounding, but still tuneful and hooky. (TOXIC SHOCK)

HUMAN HEAD TRANSPLANT
