Presenting your All Tomorrow's Parties NY House band. . .

In the early 2000's, the shits 'n' giggles folks at snarkier-than-thou Chunklet Magazine plopped recording engineer god and Shellac guitarorrist Steve Albini on its cover, screaming: Is This Guy The Biggest Asshole In Rock? That infamous issue still resonates on his rep today--and he could care less. But brutal honesty and outspokenness shouldn't equal a-hole-dom, and fact is, Albini's one of the good guys. His cutthroat, drum machine-anchored postpunk band from the 80s, Big Black, revolutionized the Industrial music blueprint with their album Songs About Fucking then formed the eloquently-named Rapeman. (Offensive? Nah.)
