WEEKEND NACHOS
Two Things At Once
LP
This LP is pretty easy to figure out, it compiles both the 'Torture' EP and the 'Bleed' EP's in their entirety aka their 'fast' and 'slow' records, 1 EP per side but the difference here is both records are remastered (you really need to hear the revised version of 'TORTURE'). Dig the Descendents reference in the title? Anyone even get it? The 'Torture' EP was the 1st release on the now defunct Tooth Decay imprint (CBR repressed it as a 7'' for a few more years) as well as being the 1st Nachos record. It also serves as one of the few in 2005 that seemed to set the standard for the 'next' wave of so called power violence but at the same time as soon as that term was being tossed around enough the band was a little put off by it as they thought of themselves as more of a fast hardcore band with 'PV' influence, not a straight up power violence band. Lyric wise they were a tad more light hearted on the record, but still remained largely cynical, sarcastic and angry which are Nachos lyric standards. In their music they bore elements of Charles Bronson lyrically, Infest in the brutality and John's vocals and Eyehategod (esp the latter in the closing 'Sludge') due to the thick/heavy tone they incorporated to differ from the rest of the pack. Then fast forward to the 'Bleed' 12'' EP from 2010 which originally was released on Relapse. The record seemed to confuse many people, which I never understood. The band always has dabbled a little in sludge on each release, so why not just once do a 2 song record more in the slow and heavy genre? I mean Eyehategod, Grief, Buzzoven and Black Sabbath are examples of influences on the band so it only makes sense! The A side tune (Bleed) was written specifically for the record, while the B side track was a song off the demo that was too good to be left behind so it got re-recorded and improved upon. So both records are now compiled on 1 record for your pleasure. Torture has been OOP for at least a yr and a half & Bleed went out of print within a few months. It feels good to have these songs out again, esp knowing the band still plays many of them still.
