Classic Album Review: Big Soap | Ka

This Cincinnati foursome are 99 and 44/100ths per cent pure cool.

This came out in 1998 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


If you’re expecting something clean, smooth and bubbly from Big Soap, you might be disappointed.

If you’re after something grittier, probably not. With their gritty, blood-stained garage-punk roots, stomping grooves and dadaist experimental bent — complete with skronking sax and squealing Theremin — this Cincinnati foursome are 99 and 44/100ths per cent pure cool. Besides, you gotta love any band that has a tune called Power & Volume.
