Album Notes

Hey, thanks for looking here. We at Noiseville Records (we've been around for 20 years btw) are very happy to be working with CD Baby. Our stock is now EXCLUSIVELY available from CD Baby. We like them, they rule and are fast to ship orders out! Please listen (for free) to the music and order this album. The regular CD is a limited edition of 1000 copies and selling fast. After it is gone, it will be a download only. If you are like me you will want the regular CD. Here is your chance to order it now!!!!! And if you had the chance to order the regular CD and didn't, you will feel pretty darned bad... trust me. Most of our 80 releases are sold out and folks ask for copies all the time, and we just don't have any to sell for any price. Order it now!!!!!!

Back in the late 80's, Bench was doing a different type of music. While most bands doing experimental/weird music may have been dabbling with distortion, Bench was embracing it. They mixed metal and psych rock. Back then it was called weird. But in the last decade or so, it has become known as STONER ROCK. Bench have been cited as one of the first of the stoner rock bands along with the likes of Monster Magnet and The Thing. They sold over 5000 copies of two singles on the Noiseville label. While those 7" singles were finding their way into record collections around the world, Bench were producing home recorded cassettes and selling them at shows. These tapes now sell for upwards of $75 on Ebay, but now, for the first time, Noiseville is proud to make them available on CD. This is the 1st in a series of 4 CDs of those rare Bench cassettes. Get on board!
