John Jolley Cherubs broke up in my hometown of San Diego, outside the old Casbah (which became Kava Lounge, RIP) on tour for this LP. Got into em eight years later, never expecting to hear another note from them.

I burned this CD for so many friends in the early aughts. The usual response: “I’ve been looking for this music my whole life, and now I’ve found it”. There’s nothing like it - Heroin Man is a perfect 10 out of 10.

Missed them when they finally returned to SD - was out of town. Pls come back!

Favorite track: Example Maiden Japan/Devil's Food.

about

"Heroin Man stands as both the chronological center of the Cherubs catalog, and it's defining moment. As one of noise rock's finest moments, Heroin Man is both a delicate, tragic statement and send-off to a friend who had OD'd, and a bellowing, roaring, over-amped screwball masterpiece of Butthole Surfers mayhem and Husker Du pop structures. It's sometimes difficult to distinguish between Kevin Whitley's guitar and Owen McMahon's bass, and that's precisely the point -- this is noise rock; and still at other's, Whitley's guitar is a washing, white-noise counterpoint to the pummeling rhythm section. This is a dense, sprawling, spiraling work showing a band peaking aesthetically, with perhaps an even more ambitious album to follow. Unfortunately, due to the usual host of reasons, that never occurred. This was the Cherubs final studio album until their reformation 20+ years later."

CHERUBS image

CHERUBS Austin, Texas

Formed in 1992, Cherubs emerged on the Austin, TX, LSD punk scene with a jackhammer of nightmarish, rhythm-driven song structures and plenty of Butthole Surfers whimsy and terror to keep things more than interesting. Fast forward 20 years later and the band has reformed with more energy and songwriting acumen then ever. ... more
