Released on : 'Lost LP' (track 6/12) Limited Appeal/Necrotone, USA. LA28/NT21. 2018. Ltd 400 (300 black, 100 red/black) https://www.discogs.com/The-Groinoids... https://www.discogs.com/The-Groinoids... Recorded 1988 by Tim O'Heir at Fort Apache Studios Dorchester, MA Mongoloid - vocals Billy O'Malley - guitar Larry Kelley - guitar Jay Snow (aka Big Daddy) - drums, bass Artwork by Brian Walsby Limited Appeal Records "Who are the Groinoids? They are the weirdo band on the seminal hardcore compilation “This Boston Not LA”. The Groinoids is Killslug with Mongoloid on vocals instead of Larry Lifeless. This LP was recorded in 1988 and never released. This family of musicians is so incestuous that some of the music on these songs was also used on future Kilslug songs. Mike Williams IV from EYEHATEGOD a huge fan of the Groinoids wrote the linear notes for the record. We put a lot of effort into making this record look like it was released in the late 80’s included getting Brian Wallsby to illustrate the record cover. To make things more complicated on our end we mastered the record so that we could have the song titles etched into the perimeter of the record." YELLOW GREEN RED review http://www.yellowgreenred.com/?m=201905 Cool and unexpected find here from Limited Appeal: the lost Groinoids album! If you’re like me, you have a special place in your heart for the antagonistic offbeat weirdo bands that popped up at least once per compilation LP in the formative days of hardcore-punk, and that’s where I’d file The Groinoids. They offered sixty seconds of scum-punk on This Is Boston Not L.A. before reassembling into other fine Boston-based sludge rock units (Kilslug, Upsidedown Cross, etc.), and I had no idea they recorded a full-length in 1988. You probably didn’t either! Lost certainly sounds more 1988 than 1981 – the influence of metal is palpable, but Groinoids still keep it slow and slimy, with vocalist “Mongoloid” frothing at the mouth over some ignorant chug. Kilslug are incredible (even their reunion 11″ album is top-notch!), but Groinoids are less so, recalling Nihilistics at their most wasted or The Murder Junkies at their most childlike, with a slight funkiness to the drums common of the era but poorly aged in 2019. Still, The Groinoids sucking is a good percentage of their charm, so if you’re a fan of Boston hardcore obscurities, demented sludge-punk or the many ways in which they intersect, you’re going to have to seek out Lost for at least a cursory spin. MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL issue 443 April 2020 review https://maximumrocknroll.com/review/m... This record was quite a surprise for me. Most of us know the GROINOIDS from their tracks on Boston Not LA and Unsafe at Any Speed. Those tracks and the later released Radiobeat Sessions feature some fast, demented hardcore with snotty/wacky vocals and sarcastic lyrics. One formed the impression of a goofy group of misfits who were into playing fast and not too seriously. This opinion was reinforced by contrasting them to the tight, heavy and powerful mesage-driven hardcore bands like SSD, DYS and JERRY’S KIDS. This Lost LP is in a completely different style than I envisioned. The riffs are heavy and sludgy. They swing from an evil heaviness you might expect from a band like CAVITY or BUZZOV•EN to a more rockin’ form of heavy like, say, HIGH ON FIRE or FU MANCHU. But—and this is a big but—the vocals are still the whiney, juvenile, sarcastic snarl of the early hardcore days. It’s almost as if they are asking us not to take this new heavy direction seriously just as they seemed to with their hardcore material. Some practical joker decided it would be uproarious to place a locking groove at the beginning of record so you actually drop the needle about an inch in from the edge rather than on the outer edge of the slab. I would say if you are into heavy post-hardcore stuff this record might be a real missing link for you. For hardcore fans I think it is more of historical and academic interest. FELIX HAVOC
