Heatmiser – The Music Of Heatmiser 2xLP

Heatmiser was founded in 1991 by Neil Gust, Elliott Smith and drummer/producer Tony Lash. Within a year of adding bassist Brandt Peterson on bass, they were playing across the West Coast and demoing dozens of songs for their first LP. Six of these tracks were self-released on the cassette titled ‘The Music Of Heatmiser’. The sound of the band changed a lot over 3 LPs, but this is Heatmiser right out of the gate. New, energetic, excited, moving quickly through styles, totally broke and making it work in whatever way possible. It’s guitar rock, full-blast, through 100 watt Marshall half stacks, when grunge was ascendant in the Pacific Northwest and the Portland scene was exploding.
