about
Sinister Six are among the Seattle punk bands that did not sell out to grunge and carried the flag of the Northwest garage-punk sound (Sonics, Wailers) into the 1990s. The band is a veritable force of nature on the debut Outta Sight (Empty, 1993). Singer Doug White skins cats with a psychotic grin in I Hate You and Out Of My Way and boasts the howl of a wolfman in Psycho Train and Pain In My Head, songs that rarely deserve to be called “music” but that serve a high-octane dose of vibrations. Guitarist James Burdyshaw’s solos are heroically repugnant: having vividissected the voodoobilly I Don’t Know and stabbed to death the garage blues Backwards Funny Car, his guitar launches into the glorious distorted riff of Kill You Tonight, thereby sealing one of the few Seattle albums that deserves the title of “masterpiece” scaruffi User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
