Heatmiser – “Lowlife (’92 Cassette)”
You’ve probably heard of Nirvana, 90’s grunge, and Elliot Smith, but you may or may not be familiar with a band that shared a the same area geographically with Kurdt Kobain et al… Counting Elliot Smith among its members, Heatmiser was a force to be reckoned with in the 90’s that, for whatever reason, wasn’t ensnared in Sub Pop’s campaign of owning 90% of the 90’s.
“Lowlife” is being released ahead of the forthcoming twenty-nine track compilation from Third Man Records. The song itself is quintessential grunge… In that it’s an alt-rock-punk tinged track. Blistering guitars coupled with singer Neil Gust’s raucous, guttural vocals is a perfect first track to, if you’re like me, be introduced to the band.
Check it out on Spotify and give the rest of their back catalogue a listen if you’re feeling nostalgic. and check out the compilation due out October 6 if this is up your alley. You can also check out this crazy live video on YouTube of the band performing the “Lowlife.”
