Various Artists - Brown Acid - The Eleventh Trip (Various Artists) - VINYL LP

The hard stuff saga continues with Brown Acid - The Eighth Trip! Yet again, Riding Easy has searched high and low to bring ten tracks of straight blue flame fire from the golden age of heaviness. As usual, these rare tracks have been carefully curated, analogically sourced, and fully licensed so one can listen guilt-free and save a lot of time and money tracking down the original copies.This Trip comes straight at ya with an all out attack, quite literally-Attack's InchSchool DazeInch kicks out the jams Detroit-style. White Rock will knock your stank-ass socks off with their 1972 burner InchPlease Don't Run AwayInch. This 45 was privately released by this Houston-based band that reportedly played shows with Josefus, Stone Axe, and Purple Sun. Riverside's two-sider from 1974 rips from front to back. It's also exclusively available here and is virtually unknown. And that's just some of the stellar collection of rare singles featured here.Some of the best thrills of the Internet music revolution is the ability to find extremely rare music with great ease. But even with such vast archives to draw from, quite a lot of great songs have gone undiscovered for nearly half a century-particularly in certain genres. Previously, only the most extremely dedicated and passionate record collectors had the stamina and prowess to hunt down long forgotten wonders in dusty record bins-often hoarding them in private collections, or selling at ridiculous collector's prices. Legendary compilations like Nuggets, Pebbles, ad nauseum, have exhausted the mines of early garage rock and proto-punk, keeping alive a large cross-section of underground ephemera. However, few have delved into and expertly archived the wealth of proto-metal, pre-stoner rock tracks collected on Brown Acid. Album Tracks 1. Attack - School Daze 2.

Lucky number seventeen? Believe it. Those at Brown Acid have been scouring the highways and byways of America for even more hidden stashes of psych / garage / proto-punk madness from the so-called Aquarian Age. There's no flower power here, though-just acid casualties, rock stompers and major freakouts. As always, the songs have been officially licensed, and all the artists get paid. Some samples of this trip include Stone Hedge were a seven-piece rock band out of Michigan with a penchant for Creedence and anthropomorphism. InchSmokey BearInch is their 1972 tribute to the official mascot of the U.S. Forest Services-not to mention the A side of their sole single-and it recalls the kind of organ-drenched swamp jam that soundtracked many a Burt Reynolds flick back in the day.Cedar Rapids, Iowa, may not be known as a cultural mecca, but they did produce Truth & Janey. This deadly hard rock trio delivered their holy grail full-length, No Rest For The Wicked, back in 1976. InchAround and AroundInch is a Chuck Berry cover that originally appeared on a 1973 single the band released under the earlier name Truth.Originally released in 1973, InchHigh School LetterInch is the debut single from San Diego rock squad Glory. This infectious bonehead cruncher features future Beat Farmer Jerry Raney and the original rhythm section of Iron Butterfly in bassist Greg Willis and drummer Jack Pinney. Glory is what they got up to after their former bandmates left for L.A.'s garden of Eden.InchJack the RipperInch is a mercilessly bootlegged Cleveland classic from 1978 with a serrated punk edge and vocals that recall Mick Blood of Aussie savages the Lime Spiders. Or maybe it's the other way around-the Lime Spiders formed the year after Strychnine carved off this lethal paean to the infamous Whitechapel slasher of olde. Album Tracks 1. 1.

Here we are again in 2025, Brown Acid The Twenty-First Trip arriving right on time as the world at large degrades further into disorienting self-absorbed isolation and chaos. Ten powerful early hard rock brain benders, primal energy exploding sideways out of the ash heap of '60s idealism, rocking the darker side of human nature in style! Raw and unfiltered, no compromise, blasting gnarly sound perfectly sequenced to take you on one helluva ride! Territory populated with dicey characters, perilous women, predators, bad relationships... anti-social alienation delivered with smoking guitars, real people ripping it with no self-defeating namby-pamby finesse sabotaging their brutal energy. Every track sounds fresh today because Brown Acid is the real deal when it comes to what matters in music... communication! Life itself sonically sneering across time! Opus Est - InchMaggie JohnsonsInch kicks it right out of the gate, taking only a minute and a half to do you in with brash proto punk attitude. Tight and savage riffing shifts gears with an ascending backup vocal hook right out of the twilight zone. The singer sounds disoriented, he can't get away from Maggie quick enough! Power trio from Belgium in 1974 nail it to the wall and then the whole building collapses. Freedom North - InchLosing YouInch seamlessly alternates gutsy female vocal ranting with trippy floating guitar passages. Singer Franki Hart sounded psychedelic dreamy on their debut 45 InchDoctor TomInch, here she sounds like her throat is gonna fly right into your face. Gnarly lead, harsh dry metallic guitar sound, score one for the ladies here, the dude's a loser and she dumps him. Canadian band from 1970 cranked out four singles and an LP that year... this is their killer. Accents - InchFriendly StrangerInch serves as an ominous warning for the girls. That seemingly charming guy you just met may be more Ted Bun
