Dark and brooding music for the dark and brooding of listeners.
Boy Dirt Car may hardly be a household name in the world of pop, but for noise aficionados worldwide, those three words conjure up visions and dreams of a time when the words 'noise' and 'industrial' really meant something. Starting out in Milwaukee in '81 with the duo of Eric Lunde and Darren Brown, they eventually settled into a semi-stable quartet lineup that also featured Dan Kubinski and Keith Brammer of local hardcore kings, Die Kreuzen (whose albums on the famed Touch & Go label are all well worth checking out). With a string of albums on the RRR label (there's also a boxed set in there) and even an appearance on the seminal Sub Pop 100 LP, BDC made their stamp in the underground but then sadly called it quits in the late '80s, whilst individual members pursued other projects. Amidst this mess and turmoil lay Heatrig, their swan song and finest moment, left unreleased until now. The BDC 'sound' is not easy to pin down. There are some graspable elements in place: the metal-banging clang of Neubauten, the drones and scrapes of Nurse With Wound or early SPK and the uncategorisable 'rock' stew that made Die Kreuzen such a fine band in their day, though mainly BDC remain BDC. Forever and always."
