Big Black - Songs About Fucking (1989)























Steve Albini led band using a drum machine and an
abrasive guitar sound that did not care who it hurt!

This went beyond post-punk and took in hardcore
and noise rock ...... the first time I heard them
described as this, it made perfect sense.

Big Black's pounding drum machine rhythms,
repeated guitar riffs and abrasive textures must
of played no small part in the blueprint for
industrial rock.

This is a savage album but with a controlled fury.
