Rumors Laid Waste (Luckyhorse Industries)

By: Cam Lindsay

Featuring tracks from an early single, as well as splits with Stiletto and Milemarker, and two unreleased tracks, Luckyhorse Industries has managed to display the band's pre-album stages to show how far this band has come. The recordings are all quite unpolished and hoarse but also worthy of hearing. Nothing quite matches anything from their albums, but tracks like "Red Blooded American Girls" and "1, 2, 3, 4 Act Two: Now You're The Bitch--" show the aggressive tendencies the band had early on and continue to carry with them today.
