Saccharine Trust

SACCHARINE TRUST
 
 
Saccharine Trust  is a post-hardcore band from California that was started in 1980 by singer Jack Brewer and guitarist Joe Baiza.  The band would frequently perform with SST labelmates Minutemen and Black Flag.  Drummer Rob Holzman appeared on their 1981 debut Paganicons but left the band to play in Slovenly, replaced by drummer Tony Cicero.  After a ten-year hiatus, the band re-formed and began performing around the West Coast.   (More from Wikipedia)
  

Slovenly was assembled by drummer Rob Holzman after leaving his previous band Saccharine Trust.  They have an offbeat indie rock sound with punk overtones and strange meandering lyrics.  The monotone singing of Steve Anderson is backed by wandering guitars and unexpected musical passages.
