Fuzzy Cracklins (The Swamp Records) I really dig this sound. Lots of short energetic yet thoughtful songs. There are some killer guitar solos on here too. Favorite track: Roll Up Your Sleeves.

about

"They must have felt horror, this bruised and bloodied band, looking at one another’s mangled mandibles to find a sludgy smear betwixt Black Sabbath and Grand Funk. Simple structures have long been the lexicon of CBTU, haiku-ish howls adorned with judicious jamming, but the sound now is made of bricks, not sticks."
~Infinite Ears
