In their short history, (only 8 months) Johannesburg, South Africa's
Suck
released one album in 1971 and created more mayhem than most bands do over a 10-year career. Suck were
Louis "Moose" Forer
on bass,
Steve "Gil" Gilroy
on guitar (who worked in the UK with
Mick Abrahams
from
Jethro Tull
),
Saverio Grande
on drums and
Andrew Ionnides
on vocals.
Time To Suck
is a hard, psychedelic, highly-charged package of manic drumming, scorching guitars and sublime, wailing vocals. Renowned for their destructive, somewhat scary on-stage antics using weaponry and their anti-war political rants, they managed to become the most controversial band in South Africa. Full of covers from artists of the day including
Grand Funk Railroad
's "Aimless Lady," and "Sin's A Good Man's Brother,"
King Crimson
's "21st Century Schizoid Man,"
Donovan
's "Season Of The Witch,"
Black Sabbath
's "War Pigs," and one truly howling, bonkers original, this one is not for moonshine mellow candle folk fans -- this one is a real adrenaline pusher. True South African heaviness that could have gotten even heavier with some more original material if they hadn't immediately disbanded. Produced by
Julian Laxton
from
Freedom's Children
