Everyone plays their part well, and we are left with a masterpiece of doublyĮxperimental punk. Like Wire on "Pink Flag", the bandĪlmost always plays short bursts of experimental energy, their unique style getting thrown at an unsuspecting Tinny production only adds to the effect of the jagged, crazed, pitch dark playing.
Much like krautrock klassic "German Oak", the Through the haze of the raw, cheap production rises a dour, angry pack of guitar, bassĪnd drums, played proto-math, as Joaquin Brewer lays out his truth. What Flipper and Rites of Spring would eventually do to equally great effect, but ST also went for complexĪrrangements indebted to prog, which would only otherwise be matched by Greg Ginn's guitar work on Black FlagĪlbums from "My War" on. Saccharine Trust went for a rough, dark take on hardcore, much like Saccharine Trust would appeal to anyone whose interested in checking out if punk and jazz goes together.Īn undisputed classic of LA punk, this sits as one of the first post hardcore records, and the start for one of the fewīands to end up melding prog and punk. They reunited again by BREWER and BAIZA and in 2001 have released a new album called The Great One Is Dead.
While moving in a few directions, every member saw a different musical path for the band and was pushing to get his ideas to take shape, so shortly after the release of their second album the band had broke up. The music has clear punk elements which are most notable in the vocals, the lead guitars played by BAIZA does not resemble the punk dirty, uncontrolled and loud riffing but is much more clearer and has a Frippian kind of playing top that with all kinds of jazz noodlings and you'll get the picture, sounds like a progier Rollins Band to me. They started incorporating other styles to their music like jazz and avant garde including a saxophone to their sound, this fusion of styles resulted in two studio albums the 1984 Surviving You, Always and the 1986 We Became Snakes. In 1981 they released their first EP Paganicons an 8 track EP including very short punk songs, but the years and line up changes made the group change their approach and style and by the mid 80's the band was definitely pushing the boundaries of punk rock like no other band has done, making them a very unique outfit in the scene. SACCHARINE TRUST started as a punk rock band from California in 1980 by musicians Jack BREWER and Joe BAIZA, they were part of the hardcore punk scene along with bands like Black Flag, Minuteman and other SST groups.
