Public Nuisance

Gotta Survive

Rare US Limited Edition Deluxe LP released on Shadoks Records in 2002. Comes in a very thick heavy duty glossy gatefold sleeve complete with 7" single.

It's pretty extraordinary for a band who never even released a record to have a two LP package prepared in their honour more than 30 years after they disbanded. That's what you get with this double-disc set, largely devoted to unreleased recordings by Public Nuisance from late 1968 and early 1969 (two rare 1966 garage folk-rock singles by the  group from which they evolved, Moss & the Rocks, are also included on the bonus  7"). Is it worth such unusual archival care? Yes, though in truth its appeal  will mostly lie with aficionados of garage-psychedelic crossover sounds, rather  than more general enthusiasts looking for classic lost '60s rock. Public  Nuisance made for the most part above-average, though not groundbreaking,  insouciant garage psychedelia with raw and idiosyncratic, but not sloppy, blends  of punk, pop, folk-rock, and songs that reflected both the angst-ridden  confusion and exhilarating highs of the era. If you're looking for ballpark  comparisons, you might think of other California bands like the Lollipop Shoppe  (or more distantly the Music Machine), who tapped into some of the  boundary-stretching experimentation of psychedelia while retaining a surly,  defiant attitude. The Lollipop Shoppe were better (and better produced),  frankly, but Public Nuisance were respectable, with some unpredictable twists to  their tunes and chord progressions, odd insertions of harpsichord and Theremin,  and grinding, ominous, distorted guitar riffs. Some cuts -- like "Small Faces,"  "Magical Music Box," "Thoughts" (with its alternation of breezy harmonica and  exultant fuzz guitar), and the anti-war "Strawberry Man" -- stand out as quite  imaginative. Others are only okay and closer to the average also-ran bands in  the genre, though even here Public Nuisance stands out for the wealth and  diversity of their original material.
