Wax of the Week #99...Big Black: Headache (1987)

The 12” EP grooves on this are nice and loud. Happy songs concerning child beating, grinding the face of someone who messed with your tools, strike breakers, and racist cops. A “heavy” guitar paired with one that sounds like a big chain smashing against a cyclone fence. Granulating roundwound bass groove. A thumping 808. And a killer Savage Pencil cover illustration.
