Back Off Cupids - "S/T"

Here's another John Reis post for you. Are you sick of them yet? Of course not, because no one reads this shit except me. Anyway, I can't help it...Reis is a wicked musician that should go down in rock history for putting out some of the most progressive and genre defining music of our generation. The guy deserves his props. Originally recorded in '94 (to score an unrealized movie called "Drama in the Lunar Womb") Back Off Cupids is Speedo's solo project that was released by Drunken Fish Records in 2000. The project is a mostly instrumental work featuring Reis' gangly, melody bending, guitar work. I think fans of Drive Like Jehu can particularly dig this stuff, and will find strong similarities between the two bands. It has a dark edge to it, and it rocks. Amoeba rocks as well for having it used for 10 dollars. Who ever sold it must have been a fiend hard up for some smack, because this stuff (in my humble opinion) is gold.
