MUKILTEO FAIRIES were so fukkn far ahead of their time. In your face hardcore from Olympia, when Olympia was basically known for NIRVANA, riot grrl and K Records (not necessarily in that order, depending on who you were at the time) that simply smashes most of their contemporaries. The sound is akin to CRUDOS at the tail end of a meth bender, when the mind is on the verge of chaos but the body can still kinda hold shit together, but the vocals...ugh. This band was pissed, they were queer, and they gave not one single fuck. I remember hearing the singles at the time and just listening over and over - it was related to what I knew but I don't know that I'd heard anything this uncompromisingly fierce before. It wasn't "classic USHC" or anything, but it was just as fast. It was't dark and moody crust, but it was just as ominous. It was fucking intense. They left us by the middle of the decade with this cassette, two EPs and a split in their wake before three of them formed BEHEAD THE PROPHET NLSL. The records are around and they're usually, mystifyingly, cheap...just saying.
