As a result of dealings with evil businessmen during the immoral ’80s, Wargasm are only now getting the push they’ve deserved for so long. With the release of Ugly (Massacre Records/Century Media), these unsung local heroes finally have entered the market.
At the Middle East, the thrashing threesome bashed through old standards like “Dreadnaut Day” and “Knee Deep in Blood” and roared, “This next song’s going to be our first video on MTV!” before lunging into “The Rudest Awakening.” As lame as MTV may be, video exposure on the bandwagon station of Western Civilization is a sign that Wargasm might just make it all the way this time.
