DiskothiQ "Rob" 7 inch (Wabana/1997)

DiskothiQ is certainly no stranger to this blog as I have already shared a few of their releases so why not share another? This trio led by Peter Hughes released a bunch of cassettes, singles and comp appearances throughout the 90s including two wonderful full lengths, 1995's The Wandering Jew and 1997's Waterworld (the band's finest work in my opinon), both on Shrimper. Perhaps, people are know Hughes for his work with the Mountain Goats, which is certainly not a shame because of the fantastic output he has been apart with The Mountain Goats, however it is a shame that DiskothiQ are band that seldom gets the fair share of respect in regards to discussion about the 90s indie rock movement. They were quite prolific and their album Waterworld is an unheralded classic so it is a shame that their work has largely been ignored. And this 7 inch no different, left in $1 bins but don't let the price tag fool you-this is "grade A indie rock".

You can download some of DiskothiQ's music for direct from their Bandcamp page, including their unreleased/unfinished last album. Go get it here.
