16 "curves that kick"

In the early nineties I joined the Pushead fan club.  Pushead is probably the single biggest influence on my art ( @hyperstoic ) when I first saw the metallica t-shirt for "damage inc." It was like a bell tolled in my head.  Poetics aside it really changed my life, it was like an even scarier Derek Riggs (the dude who did all those awesome Iron Maiden illustrations )  as a member of pushead's fan club I received all kinds of prints, stickers and vinyl.  The 10" for the band #16  "curves that kick" was actually one of the few bands I liked on his Bacteria Sour record label.  The album cover is pure Pushead awesomeness (through its a bit obvious he didn't want to draw the figure's hands or feet)  the music is  a rhythmic sludgefest with barked vocals.  This record was released in 1993 and is akin to the stuff bands like Crowbar and Eyehategod were doing at the time.  There's some cool use of effects pedals to add some flavor to din.  I ordered the cd from his label directly since I didn't have reliable access to a record player, I still have both copies.  I've remained loyal to their career over the years and they have continued to their path of hazy sludge.  They re-released this album a few years ago with inferior non-pushead artwork, but the remastered disc does sound a lot better.
