Cheer-Accident - Not A Food CD

Pravda 6359
The enigmatic Cheer-Accident formed in 1981, when the members were in High School, but it wasn't until 1988 when they released their first album, Sever Roots, Tree Dies. These guys do things the hard way; they are not content to give their audience what their audience thinks they want. Hence, they can be anything from a utterly fantastic to a utterly frustrating listen, depending on what you were hoping that the record you are listening would be, based on the last album by them you heard. They are also the band that the phrase 'brutal prog' was coined for (by Weasel Walter, in the 90's). Anyway, they have long been a creative, interesting force in rock music, and we're happy to stock their releases, even though you may find them frustrating as well! This was released in 1996. "1992 was a year of great productivity-the band's Bassist Chris Block, frustrated by the group's unwillingness to define itself exclusively as a dissonant band, was asked to leave in June. He was promptly replaced by bassist/composer Dan Forden, whose musicianship and strong work ethic led to a very fruitful couple of years with Cheer-Accident. In addition to performing in the numerous and always-varying live shows, Forden contributed to the 150+ minutes of music that were recorded during that time. In late 1993, Cheer-Accident (along with pal, Fred Krueger) helped create the cable access show "Cool Clown Ground". In 1994, the show's popularity (to the complete shock of everyone) began to significantly increase. In July, Cheer-Accident teamed up once again with Steve Albini to record "Not A Food", their 'rock update' with a few decidedly non-rock stumbling blocks. This full-length recording is a very self-assured work -probably their best match -up with Steve to date."
