Loud Is As: Vinyl 5LP Box Set
Release date: 8 November, 2024
Sprung from the DC punk and politics that inspired Dischord, TeenBeat and the Riot Grrrl revolution, Washington, DC’s Tsunami crashed into the 90s with wit, distortion and a sharp-tongued feminist spirit. This five LP box set collects eleven 7”s, 4-track demos, 1993’s Deep End, 1994’s The Heart’s Tremolo, plus the first-ever vinyl pressing of 1997’s acclaimed A Brilliant Mistake. Drawing on the suitcase archives of their own Simple Machines Records, Tsunami’s ambition – from all ages basement shows to the second stage of Lollapalooza – is captured in essays, photos, and ephemera, revealing the DIY history of the alternative music revolution.
