Back in the Day, 1988

Mad Sin

Chills and Thrills in a Drama of Mad Sin and Mystery

(Maybe Crazy / Concrete Jungle)




In days scarcely recalled, Koefte, Stein, and Holly (as "Sinners Mad") began torching flames amid the kneecaps-and-elbows rabble that composed the WWW. Their initial recording not only foretold monstrous magnetism yet to unfold, but was itself a hatchet-mark above more $-accruing, contemporaneous waxings (Primitivism having pull all its own). Appreciate this, then, as a rudely crude invitation/warning from the neon crypt. 

Recommended: "Brainstorm," "Buddy's Riot," "Planet Paradise," "Mad Rumble," "2,3,4," "Shake the Thing," "Gonna Get Her," "Whirl Girl"
