THE U-MEN, from 1980s Seattle. The “Solid Action” and “Freezebomb” 45s they put out in 1987 and 1988, respectively, were huge favorites around my house at the time – not so much their LPs.
Despite all the hubbub about them in books recalling “early grunge”, still not sure they’ve been particularly well-heard. There’s this thing, if you’re interested in tracking it down.
