Bay Area threesome (two of whom originally hail from Bozeman, Montana) Steel Pole Bath Tub put a happy face (well, sorta) on industrial-strength grind rock, leavening its pitbull riffs with jaggedly humorous short stories that couldn't be further from established noise-boy motifs. Trouser Press Official Site MySpace Page With their penchant for the use of bizarre TV samples, [...]
