Sleeping with Pestilence

Shocklogic’s debut came out as a cassette only release, in the classic mode of 80s punk bands. Recorded in a strange apartment in Clifton, the album is a quick blast through their frenetic set. Thankfully, singer Souci’s vocals ride over the top of the glorious noise, to give the listener a taste of her poetic approach (which she has continued to pursue as a published poet and novelist in addition to Columbus band Pet UFO and her own solo work). In fact, there a scene in her semi-autobiographical novel Chrysanthemum that documents this recording session, although no PAs were defenestrated in the making of this album.
