FORETHOUGHT

 

1986 San Francisco was a different place in virtually every way. Hard to imagine that the hippie heyday was less than two decades in the past and the outsiders had already blown though art punk and chaos punk and hardcore and started splintering into college alt and indie rock and pure freaksperimentation. CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN played with BUTTHOLE SURFERS at The Mab, SST was releasing RUN WESTY RUN and SCREAMING TREES, and future Bay Area mainstay Tommy Strange (SONGS FOR EMMA, STRAWMAN, etc...), was done with ODFX and playing weird, angular, abrasive post-hardcore in FORETHOUGHT with folks who would later form SABOT, who embarked on a whole different freak path after FORETHOUGHT split. There's one EP (it's cheap, find yourself one), and this ten song piece of history...and history is important.
