KOTM-02

Locust/Man Is The Bastard Split (1996)

DOWNLOAD

Relatively long 10" split with 21 tracks clocking in at 22 minutes.

The Locust continue their crusty powerviolence assault with very minimal keyboards.

Man Is The Bastard was a powerviolence band from Claremont, CA. However, their contribution to this split is a 10 minute noise track split up into 12 parts.

King Of The Monsters Records started in the summer of 1994 as a way for two friends, Mike Genz and Tawna Hannifan, to release records by bands whom they believed in and thought others should hear. Over the years KOTM has released records from The Locust, Man Is The Bastard, Fast Forward, Soiled Doves, Black Cat 13, and a bunch of other artists.

Locust/Jenny Piccolo Split (1995)

DOWNLOAD

This is a 5" picture disc split released on Three One G. First release by both bands. Locust would go on to change their name to The Locust because there was someone already using that name.

On this release, San Diego's the Locust feature a very different line-up with a predominately powerviolence sound.

Jenny Piccolo was a Santa Cruz powerviolence 3 piece.

Three One G is a San Diego, California based record label, started by Justin Pearson (The Locust). The name comes from the chorus of a Joy Division song "Warsaw", a song covered by Pearson's previous band, Swing Kids.
