My Dad's a Fuckin' Alcoholic

Auroras Frantix transfixed the early 1980s Colorado punk scene with their unique sound and chaotic live show, releasing just two 7-inch EPs before evolving into the equally renowned grunge band The Fluid, Sub Pops first non-Seattle signing who helped lead the labels grunge invasion of the mainstream. The groups complete recorded works-both EPs plus rare, unreleased and great-sounding demo and live material-are collected here, most tracks appearing on vinyl for the first time ever. Though many people mistakenly believe that Mudhoneys well-known version of "My Dads a Fuckin Alcoholic" is an original, this is the true KBD classic! The mix of Ricky Kulwickis unstoppable, lava-flow guitar, Matt Bischoffs droning, carpet-bombing bass, Davey Stewarts train-wreck drums, and Marc Deatons teenage-zombie vocals is downright legendary. Frantix were never just hardcore, and one can hear it on their very first recordings from 1980: beneath the songs amphetamine stutter and sonic tachycardia are strands of rock n roll DNA belonging to Johnny Thunders and Keith Richards. "Dancin to Punk" and "FM Ear" are smeared with lipstick traces of the Modern Lovers. The classic "My Dads a Fuckin Alcoholic," equal parts Black Flag and Flipper with a touch of the New York Dolls, sports a simple but unforgettable bass riff and sing-along chorus and was a local favorite that grew to national underground prominence after its original release. Frantix shared the stage with national acts and punk legends like Black Flag, TSOL, Circle Jerks and Dead Kennedys.
