The Effigies-Body Bag 7"


Ok I lied yesterday and I am going to post some more here. I do have to start a paint project and I have my baseball game on today (San Francisco Giants!!!) and etc. Anyways, here is The Effigies out of Chicago. Between Kraut, Black Market Baby, Toxic Reasons, Zero Boys and some others, this is what I would describe as meat and potatoes punk. Something that is in the water in the midwest. The Effigies blended Gang Of Four, Killing Joke with some muscular sounding guitar playing. With each release they would expand their sound and songwriting. Kind of like what Naked Raygun who like The Effigies hail from Chicago. In fact, family too! Here is there first single.

  1. Another killer post Kenny. The Effigies were amazing and still are actually, as their last lp from a couple of years back was fantastic! Anyone who isn't familiar with the Effigies better get downloading now cause Angry says they are *ucking awesome.........

  2. I never checked out that newer one (Reside..I think it was called??). Would you happen to have that? I've heard mixed reviews of it.

  4. That would be great...if ya don't mind. I listen to the "Remains Nonviewable" CD all the time, but for some reason that new one always slips my mind. Would love to check it out.
