Burning Sensations

12″ Mini LP, Capitol, 1983

Back in the heady days of MV3 – this was before cable was available everywhere – the video for the lead track here, “Belly of the Whale,” got a lot of play. One fateful day many years later, I picked this record up and recognized that title – which I had completely forgotten had ever existed – so I bought it. I couldn’t tell you what the other three songs sound like, which may be an indicator of why you’ve never heard of this band, though they’re also responsible for the version of “Pablo Picasso” on the Repo Man soundtrack.
