STYRENES
The first release in a four-part series of double 7" EPs - a "Best Of" collection compiled from 35 years of recordings by a band that Rolling Stone once called "post punk before punk ever happened."
Paul Marotta formed The Styrenes in Cleveland in early 1975 while playing in Mirrors and Electric Eels. David Fricke, also in Rolling Stone, wrote, "The Styrenes proved to be a crucial missing link between Sixties punk grunge and Eighties avant-rock - a rarefied smashup of ragged-ass psychedelia, proto-No Wave guitar noise, corkscrew jazz and pummeling freak rock."
Essential Styrenes Volume One contains eleven songs programmed in chronological order.
Disc one opens with the 1975 classic "Drano In Your Veins." Noise from the garage, a monologue with music (text included), and fast, rocking songs follow, including the often-covered "Jaguar Ride."
Disc two contains tracks that in 1979 had been scheduled for release as solo singles from Marotta and Jamie Klimek, but did not appear until 1982, after The Styrenes had relocated to NYC. The set comes in a beautiful, tip-on, double-gatefold with cover art by the acclaimed Cleveland-based cartoonist and graphic novelist/historian, Derf. Of the Styrenes, James Mann wrote in Ink Magazine, "There is a current of unflinching integrity and valor not often found in music.
This is the sound of men who truly don't give a damn. Freed from chasing the bright lights of fame and fortune, they (not so quietly) developed a unique and uncompromising vision, which will alienate 90% of those who
stumble upon it. So be it. The other 10% of us know the truth - Cleveland rocks.
