Mayhem

No, this has nothing to do with the cult Norwegian black metal band Mayhem, this Mayhem was one of several 80's Northwest bands fronted by Matt McCourt, whose most well-known band is probably Wild Dogs. One album was recorded here, that somehow found its way to the French Black Dragon label for release in 1987. For the most part, this is prime Motorhead-styled grimy speed/thrash metal with a dash of punky crossover thrown in, probably not a band that anyone (members included) took all that seriously (judging from song titles like "Couch Potato" and "Fuk-U").
