Mark McLaughlin, 1962). Superfuzz Bigmuff was Mudhoney’s first EP release (following their first single, the mind-blowing “Touch Me I’m Sick” – that track later appeared on the 1990 Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles). Closing in on its 30 year anniversary, the EP still sounds revolutionary: dirty grunge that combines the best sounds of punk and metal: raw emotion and mosh-pit melody. “Need” and “Mudride” for example, are so raw that Arm’s voice practically bleeds while “Chain That Door” is Motörhead-level catchy speed. The sample from the movie The Wild Angels that intros the ridiculously intense “In ‘n’ Out of Grace” is a summation of the grunge/punk/metal credo: We wanna be free! We wanna be free to do what we wanna do. We wanna be free to ride. We wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man! … And we wanna get loaded!

]]> Mudhoney “You Got It (Keep It Outta My Face)” b/w “Burn It Clean” 1989. Sub Pop Records. Mudhoney, Sub Pop’s first true success, was the band that helped pave the way for other Seattle bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, etc. to find commercial success with the rise of the 90′s indie rock/grunge scene. Allmusic writes “[Mudhoney] took the sweat-soaked and beer-fueled mixture of heavy metal muscle, punk attitude, and garage rock primitivism that would become known as “grunge” to the hipster audience for the first time.”

“You Got It,” which appears on Mudhoney’s debut self-titled LP, has always been one of my favorite singles from the grungey late 80′s/early 90′s, all flippantly punk while still being infectiously danceable. The flipside, “Burn It Clean” is on the EP/singles album Superfuzz Bigmuff.

Side A – “Mouthful of dirt”

Side B – “Handful of charms”
