"Falling somewhere between
Soulside
,
Ignition
, and
The Chocolate Watchband
,
Vile Cherubs
were a short-lived and puzzling band that for a brief window in 1986-88 managed to captivate, confuse, and annoy the D.C. punk scene. Consisting of high school classmates
Tim Green
,
Jesse Quitlsund
, and
Ben Wides
-- along with Green's childhood friend
Seth Lorinczi
-- the Vile Cherubs were more focused on the then-forgotten sounds of '60s garage rock and psychedelia than on
Minor Threat
. Being minors themselves, they likely would've remained trapped in the school-dance circuit were it not for
Geoff Turner
(
Gray Matter/3
), who took an interest in the band and recorded their two demos. That first tape caught the ear of D.C. space booker
Cynthia Connolly
, who despite her initial skepticism paired them with
Didjits
,
Cynics
, and other noteworthy bands. Rumors of a potential Dischord album built all through 1987, ending with mysterious suddenness after label co-owner
Jeff Nelson
dropped in on a rehearsal to find a miasma of LSD, alcohol, feedback, and vomit. Though the band released a posthumous LP in 1988, the original Geoff Turner demos explain why the D.C. scene briefly lost its shit over these teen ne'er-do-wells. Lovingly and exhaustively resuscitated by audio maestro Tim Green from the original multitrack tapes,
Lysergic Lamentations
is the Vile Cherubs at the height of their brief existence."
