Butthole Surfers’ early records have been remastered by Matador Records, showcasing their unique blend of rock and experimental sound. These albums are a must-have for fans of the band’s wild live performances and boundary-pushing music. ‘Rembrandt Pussy’ featured a set of tunes for which the Buttholes rock-based form destruction was mixed with experimental, tape-mangling passages of many flavors. Haynes was handling all audible vocals by this point, and his mastery of post-tongue dynamism was finally in full flight. Meanwhile, their live shows became legendary examples of excess and derange- ment, and their music just kept getting louder and stranger and more savage. It was the diametric opposite of the hardcore scene from which it had emerged, which was heading in ever more codified and stylistically conservative directions.
