Truly: Fast Stories... From Kid Coma

By Zak Einstein

Yeah, yeah, this is Hiro Yamamoto's new band, ex-Soundgarden, Blah, Blah, Blah. Bottom line, this band stands on its own even without the obscure Soundgarden reference. With that out of the way, I can say I've been waiting for this full length for a long time. Anticipation ran deep and for good reason, the album is TRULY amazing. A bit more unusual than the first two EP's, but that makes for a more interesting and complex listening experience. Fast Stories... From Kid Coma remains just raw enough to maintain that familiar Truly feel. The first song, Blue Flame Ford, is hit single material ala King Missile's "Detachable Penis" with balls. Truly could be Seattle's resurrection.

(Rayolux, Number Two, 1995)
