Lyrics:
(Once again NO LYRICS)
I forget whether Brent or Jay designed the cover, but it's cute. In the upper-right-hand corner, there's a little Nazi Occupied logo. Now, the logo was the word Nazi superimposed on an anarchy sign, which served as the O in Occupied, the rest of which was dripping blood. It was a very chic logo and I have tons of old school notebooks I drew it all over because I was really enthralled by it. And bored out of my skull.
At the bottom are three badly-drawn inverted crucifixes of varying sizes. Just above these to the left, we have a sickly-looking "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics" label, drawn hastily in blue pen. Above the title (which is just to the right of the almost satirical label) -- FEDUS EATER (someone can't spell) -- is the crowning glory of pre-Cavan art. The upper torso, head and misshapen arms of a developing fetus that has been somehow torn in half, perhaps by some hungry jaw, drips blood and various other things. And so, we set the tone for a jam session filled with devolution and debauchery that made a bootleg tape one of my most treasured and honoured possessions.
What about the Music?
Glad you asked.
Recorded on a finely crafted piece-of-junk ghettoblaster, Fetus Eater starts out like Soundgarden and ends up like Nirvana. Yes, the early Nineties were full of grunge, weren't they? Aren't you glad Alanis Morrissette came along? No? That's exactly why KURU is so vital to survival of the REAL music!
In fact, if you listen carefully, it's really three guys playing Spoonman, Black Hole Sun, and lots of other stuff, except for the occasional cutting bluesy riff that turns your soul into cream. Those are Jay's doing. That's why he's a hero.
Back, ALL the way back
