U-MEN
U-MEN (SUB POP)
This 2xCD set collects the entire studio-recorded output of the U-MEN, remastered, plus 5 unreleased songs, with 16 pages of photos, liner notes, and interviews with the band.
Executive produced by Jack Endino. "The U-Men are one of the best bands I've ever seen.
They were hypnotic, frenetic, powerful and compelling. It was impossible to resist getting sucked into their weird, darkly absurd world.
They effortlessly blended The Sonics, Link Wray, Pere Ubu, and Captain Beefheart. Their shows were loose-limbed, drunken dance parties and no two shows were alike.
The U-Men were avant-garage explorers and, most importantly, they fucking rocked. From 1983 to 1987, the U-Men were the undisputed kings of the Seattle Underground.
No one else came close. The U-Men had nothing to do with Grunge. They were their own unique thing." - Mark Arm, Seattle, August 2017
