Band of Susans
Hope Against Hope
Further Records
The Band of Susans have only
} released an independent 12 inch and
this LP, yet they have already been
labeled "the third greatest guitar
band in the world" by England's
New Music Express.
The question then is 'Do the
guitars cut the mustard?' The an-
swer is yes. If you know what the
picture on the cover is, you will
enjoy the record.
The Susans attempt to stay
within a pop/rock chain structure
instead of going for a more youth-
ful sonic direction. Herein lies the

furious riptide propulsion of Joey
Santiago's guitar with much greater
clarity, thanks to Big Black's pen-
cil-necked prince of noise, Steve
Albini. His production adds a crisp,
switchblade-snap to Santiago's gui-
tar and delivers a snarling, drop-kick
in the ass to drummer David Lover-
ing, who obediently picks up the
rhythmic momentum. While Mrs.
John Murphy's buzzing bass-line
flicks in-and-out of the mix like a
reptilian tongue, Black Francis ex-
hibits his vast vocal depth - one
minute he's murmuring cathartic
mantras and the next he's spewing
rhapsodic Blue Moon falsettos.
Overall, Surfer Rosa rocks-out
with a heavier discordant wallop
than its vinyl predecessor.
And for all you fans who are
"trying to get the feeling again,"
why don't you go firebomb the
Copacabana, huh?!!

problem. While their songs rely on
a structured rhythm underneath
wigged-out guitars, some of the
songs suddenly fade instead of end-
ing. Their lyrics can best be de-
scribed as excruciating - lines like
"war criminals see winnable wars /
freedom fighters raped the nuns,"
from "Throne of Blood," are already
a difficult mouthful before a tune-
less singer gets hold of 'em. Their
political views are better demon-
strated on the instrumental "Elliot
