(Translated from my original Italian text by John Connors)

Trash Can School was a sextet with three guitars (J. Francis Connors, Jim Miller, Jack Gould) and a saxophone (Andy Seven). They debuted with the dark voodoobilly of Horses (Sympathy, 1989), backed with the wild, anthemic Phantasm III. Second single One Eyed Car (Dionysus, 1990) was backed with two delays masterpieces of punk fever, Subway Shriek and Satan' s Favored Groupie. Their third single (Sympathy, 1990) had the manic Baby Lust and the swinging rockabilly instrumental Yes I Mean No. All these singles were characterized by to terrifying rhythmic impetus. The spy theme Silver Surfer (1992) appeared on to compilation. On Sick Jokes And Wet Dreams (Sympathy, 1992) the tension of the blues vibrates-punk of the Birthday Party and the cerebration of the jazz-punk of Saccharine Trust. The following year Volume War gives back their hybrid punk, depurandolo of the intellectual drosses. In Taunt a guitar holds a melodic riff and dragging, from powerpop, even if the other raise barriers of distortions. The blues and the jazz of the roaring years flood in Taxidermist and Powershred, pieces in which the sax of Seven has way to clash the rhythms swing. Those sources are camouflaged in the refined harmony of Steorid Shock, dreamlike than exotic, jazz than rock, and excited in the Ballad Of Peter Green, between left cadences of marsh and tearing you recall bluesrock of the guitars. Only the urgent TV Blues has to something to the Cramps, only burning it Volume War has to something to the Stray Cats. For the remainder their interpretation of the blues is mature and austere.

Andy Seven formed Cockfight with his wife Rebecca of Frightwig. J. Francis Connors, Jim Miller, and Jack Gould formed Black Angel's Death Song.
