Strapping Fieldhands is Bob Malloy and a gang of blasphemous Philadelphia musicians who sabotage the folk tradition. The first EP, The Demiurge (Silbreeze, 1992), is a serious take on Appalachian folk music but the following singles, Future Pastoral, Stacey Donnelley and Sun Sun, already showed a perverted knack for demented romps. The early singles will be collected on Gobs On The Midway (Silbreeze, 1997).

Atonal guitars and grotesque vocals rule over Discus (Omphalos, 1994), and goofy, retarded Holy Modal Rounders numbers such as Boo Hoo Hoo and Luminous Bodies highlight the band's folly.

More EPs inflate the discography: In The Pineys (Silbreeze, 1995) contains He's Right, The Caul (New Sound, 1995) is little more than a preview.

Unfortunately, Wattle & Daub (Shangri-La, 1996) shows a sudden dearth of inspiration.

After a five-year hiatus, The Third Kingdom (Omphalos, 2002) is a more convincing summary of their acid-rock.
