The group released a string of records on Homestead and Triple X, then quietly hung up their hats to focus on other projects. Antietam has recently regrouped and their new album, Opus Mixtum is out now on Carrot Top. This interview, taped in March 1990, catches the band right around the release of Burgoo (Triple X).

SCRAWL (Original interview date: 1/13/1990)
Tough and noisy, Ohio rockers Scrawl might have defined a lot of riot grrrl's characteristics without knowing it. The group raged their way through seven albums for Rough Trade, Simple Machines, and Elektra. Though they called it quits in 1998, the group's recording sound just as fresh as they did nearly twenty years ago. The interview was taped in January 1990 at the Elm Club on the Princeton University campus, shortly before their show with Love Child. ]]> Pop Recon returns with two archive interviews featuring ANTIETAM and SCRAWL from 1990.

Flashing through the New York underground in the late 1970s, No Wave was the ultimate anti-movement. Its bands consisted of artists and poets untrained in music, looking to explode rock and disappear before the smoke cleared. No Wave tells the fascinating story of this radical, anarchic and hugely influential musical movement.

Best known for short songs and even shorter life-spans, No Wave bands fused disparate styles to fashion abrasive, rhythmic songs that were completely original and utterly compelling. The primary perpetrators – Lydia Lunch’s howling Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, James Chance’s skeletal Contortions, the dark-noise groups Mars and DNA – all drew on primitivism, performance art, and the avant-garde.

The book also delves into No Wave cinema, where pioneers like Amos Poe, Eric Mitchell, and Beth and Scott B. translated the aggression and innovation of No Wave music to the screen. Musicians often starred in these films, and figures like Jim Jarmsuch and Steve Buscemi first cut their teeth in this vibrant scene.

Illustrated with rare and previously unseen concert photos, record covers, and other ephemera of the times, and featuring exclusive interviews with key protagonists from the scene, No Wave is the definitive guide to a genre whose sounds and ideas still vibrate through alternative culture today.]]> This features an interview with Marc Masters, whose new book "No Wave" (Black Dog Publishing) was recently published, as well as music from the Contortions, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, Mars, DNA, and Blonde Redhead. Marc Masters'"No Wave" (Black Dog Publishing) traces the history of this noisy and uncompromising genre, from its most famous names down to its many offshoots and sidetracks. From early pioneers like Suicide and Richard Hell, to forgotten treasures like Red Transistor and Bush Tetras, and descendents like ESG and Sonic Youth, No Wave charts all the cracks and crevices of a surprisingly diverse movement.
