Assisted Living - Is Coming (SM061)

Assisted Living - Is Coming (SM061)
Cassette + CD
Strange Mono

At some point alternative music started parodying itself/ But, for a time, alternative meant just that, another option from whatever the mouthbreathers were into; it meant underground, DIY, which, in turn, meant whatever the heck that meant. Assisted Living is a new band but they fall into that sweet spot, back when alternative was fresh. They took Chavez and Polvo, Sonic Youth and Butthole Surfers, Lilys and Hum (like old Hum), put them in a grinder, packed a very serious bowl and smoked 'em. And what you8 get in your earholes is a daydream of those halcyon days: tone chyasers for the heads but fun for the hippies, a kinda pre-internet gauze on finding a band and falling for them deeply and forever.

Assisted Living boasts members who've done time in Ugh God, Nyxy Nyx, Sun Organ, Bad History Month and an iteration of Golden Apples, back when they were called Cherry. And, if you know any of those bands, you'll know the pedigree with which we're dealing here. There's a Philly band slacker element that's meant to remind everyone that Philly doesn't give a shit, but its really good at not giving a shit.

Assisted Living is from the mudy banks of the Schyukill. Drew Saracco, Shane Moore, Jesse Kennedy & Dylan Larkin all played instruments.
