Tom's recent post about Celestial and The Crack Babies brought back memories of a wonderful band called Daisy Hill Puppy Farm who around 1987-88 made a few eardrums bleed profusely in various concert locations in Reykjavik, figuratively speaking. Their wall of noise and feedback, like The Crack Babies obviously heavily influenced by Jesus and Mary Chain, was released on two vinyl records and those I have ever since repeatedly dragged from their resting place during parties and blasted to high heaven. In fact, it's absolutely mandatory to play this music as loud as humanly possible, and the recordings bear witness to the music having been recorded exactly like that.
Since then Daisy Hill's front man has moved on to become a respected composer, working with f.e. Marc Almond, Barry Adamson and Emiliana Torrini, and writing music for theater and films, though to all of us who lived to see Daisy Hill Puppy Farm play he will always be known as Joe Daisy.
Daisy Hill Puppy Farm's records probably aren't available anywhere now, but here's some info on their first 7". They did have a lot of very good original songs on these vinyl records, however the only one I can find in digital form is their cover of Blondie's Heart of Glass. Play it loud!
