Southern Lord Recordings

New York City’s UNSANE assisted in pioneering a more aggressive, less studied version of noise rock, one that blended the scum/art industrial sturm und drang of Foetus, the Swans, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Sonic Youth with a decidedly more straightforward hardcore idiom. While developing the blueprint for noise bands to follow, UNSANE cut a remarkable swath through underground music, inspiring a devoted, cult-like following around the globe. As a power trio, UNSANE relied upon a hammering, power-press rhythm section, a searing Telecaster howl, and distorted vocals that resembled a chainsaw cutting a steel beam.

Chris Spencer (vocals, guitar), Dave Curran (bass, vocals) and Vincent Signorelli (drums) are responsible for well over two decades of aural ruination, with no intention of letting up anytime soon. With a new full-length album in the bag, the band will be touring the globe starting summer 2017.

The early days of UNSANE began in the late ’80s. The original incarnation of the band — Chris Spencer, Pete Shore (bass), and Charles Ondras (drums) — crawled larvally out of the practice space in 1989 and began playing New York’s seediest haunts. It was these graveyard slots at clubs like CBGB’s where the band developed and honed their trademark sound and delivered the goods with due intensity and volume. UNSANE piqued the interest of numerous small indie labels and began issuing a series of singles and EPs before recording their self-titled debut with Matador Records. Using the photo of a decapitated man lying across train tracks, UNSANE’s album cover set the tone for the admixture of seething aggression, naked fear, and barely controlled noise chaos contained within. But the band’s devastating maelstrom contained more than enough tunefulness and rock propulsion to quite easily surpass its more affected Lower East Side peers.

During 1992, UNSANE’s daunting schedule was cut devastatingly short by the untimely drug overdose of drummer Charles Ondras. Former Swans and Foetus drummer Vinnie Signorelli climbed aboard the swiftly moving train in the fall of 1992 and the band began composing its next album. In the interim, Matador compiled and issued a collection of UNSANE’s early singles and compilation tracks, appropriately titled Singles: 89-92. It is perhaps the band’s defining moment. The following year found the band recording its first for Atlantic Records, Total Destruction, a menacing, dark collection of songs driven by Signorelli’s hypnotic drumming and Spencer’s man-pushed-to-the-edge vocals. More touring followed and Matador released the Peel Sessions disc almost concurrently with Total Destruction.

After being discharged from Atlantic in 1994, UNSANE found both a new bass player in Dave Curran and a home for their next album, Scattered, Smothered, And Covered, on the independent noise rock label, Amphetamine Reptile Records. While maintaining the band’s signature sound and volume, 1995’s Scattered… showed the band opening their rhythmic approach, with most songs inhabiting a more rock-oriented 4/4 pattern, granting the album a more spacious and controlled feel. Scattered…also contained the unlikely MTV hit video for “Scrape,” featuring a series of skateboard accidents intercut with footage of the band performing live. Created for $270, it was ironically named one of MTV’s Ten Funniest Videos.

UNSANE toured relentlessly and managed to secure an opening slot with metal behemoths Slayer on one of their North American headlining tours. Shortly after, the trio made another label switch to Relapse Records and began constructing the ironically titled Occupational Hazard. While on a press tour in Europe only a month prior to the disc’s release, Spencer was brutally attacked by street thugs and left for dead on the streets of Vienna, Austria. After emergency surgery, he returned to the touring arena. They then released the compilation Lambhouse, continued to tour and wrote the ballistic urban commentary Blood Run. After more touring, and some introspection, they proceeded to issue Visqueenon Mike Patton’s Ipecac label. March 2012 saw the band’s Wreck full-length out on Alternative Tentacles, and 2017 now sees them signed to Southern Lord for the release of Sterilize.

UNSANE | Interview | The Early Cuts Tour

UNSANE recently began The Early Cuts tour with the new lineup featuring Cooper (Made Out of Babies) and Jon Syverson (Daughters).

The early days of UNSANE began in the late ’80s under the original incarnation of the band — Chris Spencer, Pete Shore (bass), and Charles Ondras (drums) — crawled larvally out of the practice space in 1989 and began playing New York’s seediest haunts. It was these graveyard slots at clubs like CBGB’s where the band developed and honed their trademark sound and delivered the goods with due intensity and volume. Unsane’s growing intensity, combined with their strong DIY touring approach influenced this greatly iconic self-titled album [recently reissued by Lamb Unlimited]: “It seemed important to capture that aspect in recording. I was using a cassette recorder to record the live shows and actually put between song live noise on the album.” – explains Chris adding: “For me, getting to play the early material that I had written during a super chaotic period in my life and the city of New York feels amazing. UNSANE never did a majority of this stuff after Charlie (our drummer) passed away, so to have the chance to revisit it now really brings back a lot of the personal shit that was going on at the time. The uncompromising nature of the material is a nightly catharsis that is much needed after the shutdown of the pandemic!” UNSANE quickly became a mainstay in New York noise and heavy music scenes. Originating from the New York scum rock scene, while still pushing their unique “extreme” sound, UNSANE’S relentless, non-stop touring established them as an important part of the Lower East side New York City music scene of the late 80s.

“Uncertainty has always been a part of life”

It’s really fantastic to have you. How is the tour so far? Are you enjoying being back on the road after a few rough years for musicians? Do you find the audience more “in the zone?”

Chris Spencer: Thanks! Tour is going well so far. We just finished the UK leg and are looking forward to playing more shows in Europe. We were actually touring here last October/November, so it’s good to be back. Yes, it’s great to finally get to tour again after the pandemic and it does seem like people are glad to be able to get out and see bands play again.

What was it like for you to spend the time during the pandemic? Did you find it creatively difficult or freeing?

I actually wrote a ton of music. I think around 40 songs. It was a bit difficult in lockdown, but creatively intensive.

What’s like playing with the new lineup featuring Cooper (Made Out of Babies) and Jon Syverson (Daughters)?

It’s awesome playing with Coop and Jon! We’re good friends and all super enthusiastic to be playing the early shit. We started doing these songs during the pandemic as an outlet for the pent up energy from the lockdown, so it’s great to get out and play them for people.

It feels that you are fresh and full of energy, as you would just start the band as a teenager. How is that possible? [laughing]

For me it’s just great to play the early songs and the guys are super energetic playing them so everything just gets kicked up a notch. I wasn’t able to play these songs with our previous drummer as his style of drumming is so different that they didn’t sound the way that they were recorded. We tried them at the time, but decided to just write new stuff.

Do you feel the new lineup offers potential background to new ideas / concepts? Would you like to talk a bit about the direction the band is going these days?

Yes, it’s fun writing new shit with Coop and Jon! We’ve been doing some writing already and are looking to record after we’re done with this round of touring. We’re thinking of doing a series of 7” records so that there’s more art work and singles can be released over time.

How do you usually approach music making? Did the songwriting aspect change during the years of being active? What about influences? We are currently living in a place where uncertainty is part of daily life. Do you feel that had any impact on the music you are making?

My basic approach has not changed much. From the beginning I have worked on ideas at home, then see what the guys think. If they’re into it, we developed the ideas from there. Uncertainty has always been a part of life (especially living in New York), so it definitely has had an influence on the lyrical content.

“Playing the early cuts really reminds me of the life I was living at the time”

One of the most interesting facts for UNSANE fans is that before the band got reformed with the new lineup, none of the shows of the early era were played. What runs through your mind playing that material today.

I love playing the early shit. After Charlie Ondras (our first drummer) died, we tried the early tracks with the new drummer Vinny [Signorelli], but they sounded very different so we opted to just start writing new stuff. Playing the early cuts really reminds me of the life I was living at the time. The songs are very direct and more aggressive than the stuff that followed. It’s really great to get to play them now…

I know this might be a difficult question, but would it be possible to recall some of the favourite moments working on the early albums, like the 1991 debut, ‘Total Destruction’ and the stunning ‘Scattered, Smothered & Covered’. What are some of the first thoughts that run through your mind if I would play you those records?

I guess my connotations associated with both of those records would really be the recording process at the time. For ‘Total Destruction’ I immediately thought of hanging out with the guys and Martin Bisi in his studio in Brooklyn. His spot is really cool and we hung out forever having fun with the recording. For ‘Scattered, Smothered & Covered,’ we were trapped in the Amrep studio basement in Minneapolis during a snowstorm. It was really cool to just hunker down there with no distractions, although the guys from the Cows would stop by and things would get really entertaining. It was really cool to wake up in the Amphetamine Reptile office basement studio and hang out with the guys while recording for the label.

“We’re looking to record once we’ve finished this tour”

Okay, gotta ask, are you working on a new album? Can you reveal anything to fans of the band?

Yes! We are writing new shit. As I mentioned previously, we’re looking to record once we’ve finished this tour…

I guess to see you soon on the tour. One more thing, what are some of the albums you’re listening to in the van?

We’ve really kept it chill in the van. A lot of Brian Eno and Harmonia. Someone’s usually trying to catch up on some sleep…

Writing in 2021 about the re-release of Improvised Munitions, Chris Spencer said: " Improvised Munitions was a release that was made for Circuit records in ’89 that we thought was our big break as they were putting out up and coming bands like Cop Shoot Cop and Surgery and Monster Magnet. "We made the record and gave it to Ernie, the guy that ran Circuit, and got the test pressings. Following our approval of the test pressings, Ernie disappeared. We were soon to learn that Ernie had a massive cocaine habit and had owed some drug dealers a shit ton of money. I have never seen him again since he handed me a test pressing one night at the Pyramid club. I have since always wondered if he possibly OD’d or was killed for a drug debt.

"We (Unsane) managed to use a couple of tracks for singles, but while on tour my junky roommates stole all of my original early Unsane 7 inches and the Circuit test pressing. The original Circuit record now seemed gone forever. We re-recorded some of the tracks to put on the first full length for Matador and soldiered on with non-stop touring. "Years went by, and then I heard a rumour that someone actually had a copy of the test pressing. More than likely the one that my drug addled roommates had taken. After a few years of trying to find it with no luck, there was finally a good lead via multiple different people. it turned out that a guy (Jordan Mamone, Thanks!) had bought it at a used record store on the Lower East Side back in the day, stored it in his record collection and still had it in great condition.

Unsane announce Australian tour dates

Official press release:

Forming in 1988, the trio created a relentless brand of Rock with their well versed influences of the Hardcore, Punk and Metal genres. Unsane quickly became a mainstay in New York noise & heavy music scenes. Originating from New York scumrock scene, while still pushing their unique "extreme" sound, Unsane's relentless, non-stop touring established them as an important part of the Lower East side New York City music scene of the late 80s and still to this present day.

The early days of Unsane began in the late '80s under the original incarnation of the band crawled larvally out of the practice space in 1989 and began playing New York's seediest haunts. It was these graveyard slots at clubs like CBGB's where the band developed and honed their trademark sound and delivered the goods with due intensity and volume. As a power trio, Unsane relied upon a hammering, power-press rhythm section, a searing Telecaster howl, and distorted vocals that resembled a chainsaw cutting a steel beam.

09/21 Melbourne @ Bendigo Hotel 09/22 Franston @ Singing Bird Studios 09/23 Melbourne, @ Max Watts 09/24 Rye @ Haba 09/27 Canberra @ The Basement 09/28 Wollongong @ La La Las 09/29 Sydney @ The Lansdowne 09/30 Brisbane @ The Zoo
