The Lee Harvey Oswald Band - A Taste of Prison


Damn, when I first picked up the LHO Band's first EP eons ago and "Getting Wasted with The Vampires" fired up, once past Rick Sim's signature hoooowl the hooks were meat deep in me. Full of shred, cock, drug fetishizing, quasi-Bowie haute vocals and some gnarly production, the whole long-player is just what I call wild. Example: Steam Roller Doggie. "Yeah I saw your daddy giving head down at the zoo."

Allmusic: According to urban legend, several hundred copies of Taste of Prison were sent to correctional facilities across the United States. The cover photo of a (seemingly) 13-year-old naked girl shooting up makes that highly unlikely, but it would definitely be in character if it were true. Lee Harvey Oswald cranks out 17 tracks (the album also includes the tracks from the previously released Lee Harvey Oswald Band EP) of Slade-inspired garage band noise, as exemplified by "The Bowels of Rock and Roll." The Sonics' "Boss Hoss" never sounded so warped and eerie. All in all, a solid rock album produced during the early 1990s, when rock wasn't cool.

Anyone who knows anything about this band will realize the interview is not real. He's making all this up for some reason or it is some "art" project thing. At least very little in the "inteview" is actually true.
