Wreckhouse - Pagnerville from the cassette Wreckhouse - 1990
Wreckhouse was a shortlived band from Chapel Hill, NC made up of Winston-Salem natives. What they left behind was this little 8 song cassette full of piss and vinegar. Not really pop or punk, its more of a happy snarl. Got to see them live once and they covered Gang Of Four's "Damaged Goods". Bonus points for that.

Actually, David Shaw played DRUMS on this recording. Ray Cooper from Elton John's 70s (the good) days is an A-list percussionist. David Shaw is simply the most erratic drummer I've ever heard since Keith Moon. I mean it as a compliment. Wreckhouse music would NOT have worked without the mayhem that David contributed.
I should know about DAvid's mayhem. I'm his brother. David is the greatest noise-making, outta control drummer that I never got a solid chance to play with for a brother. His playing is madness. Thank God!
Please. Enjoy Wreckhouse. For a time they were ranked by the Chapel Hill music critics ABOVE Superchunk.
This tape was recorded during a few cold December days in 1989 at Jay Johnson's Turtle Tapes studio.
