DEBRIS INC. - 3 SONG DEMO - 2004
3 Songs
Running Time: 12:23

I could go on and on about how Trouble and, to a lesser extent, St. Vitus raised me. Doom was almost the first style of heavier music I got into, and the first Trouble album I ever bought was Run To The Light (also Ron Holzner's first album on bass). St. Vitus' Mournful Cries album fit somehow right in with the seminal punk label SST when everyone knew it shouldn't. St. Vitus, come to think of it, always had a knack for fitting in where they didn't belong and pissing off everyone who didn't like them there.

Fast forward to 2004, and Debris, Inc. The slipcover says "Happy Violent Drunken Stoner Punk Doom". Yeah, that just about fucking covers it. More like St. Vitus hammering out punk than anything else, this is about as far removed from Fu Manchu as one could get. When these guys say "stoner", they're not talking about dune buggy races and skating pools. They're talking about getting baked, tossing back a few 6-packs, and staying the fuck indoors. These guys were veterans of stoner rock when Dave Wyndorf was still in Reefer Madness Underoos, and it shows.

Opener, 'Pain', is the only song where shadows of doom linger. For 6+ minutes, Dave Chandler's guitar buries you in La Brea Tar Pit riffs and those "I-get-no-sleep-and-mainline-battery-acid" solos he's known for. The solos in 'Pain' alone (2:20-3:13 and 6:03-6:20) will make every Nebula fan within 15 miles piss themselves in fear, and that's just how Debris, Inc. want it. 'The Nightmare' is Minor Threat and The Adolescents on their first coke jag, or Dead Kennedys if Jello Biafra had balls. Those into Eyehategod and Superjoint have never heard this Jimmy Bower, that's for damn sure. The punk influence carries on through 'FOS', which ends the sampler, and is nothing if not an exercise in what's missing from rock today. There just aren't enough "the world can kiss my ass" songs anymore. As of this writing, Debris, Inc. is looking for a record deal with 19 songs completed and ready to release. Fuck it, if they're not signed by the end of this year, I'm putting it out myself.
