Beulah – “The Rise and Fall or Our Hero’s Reward” (Audio)
‘Handsome Western States’
Elephant Six – 1997
*Beulah – “The Rise and Fall or Our Hero’s Reward” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRzYkJEsxe8 // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handsome_Western_States // That’s my 1997 CD rip with the original cover art tagged to it. ‘Handsome Western States’ is indie rock band Beulah’s debut album, released in 1997.[6] The sound is much less polished and elaborate than later albums. The album went out of print in 1999 but was re-pressed with new artwork in 2002. The album was never released in Europe, however. Because of this, many of the band’s European singles were pressed with songs from Handsome Western States as B-sides.*

We were on to something, … if every dude can play mediocre guitar, why can’t I play shitty drums?“ You might recall WSC from their 7″ we played sides of: ‘Yess I’m A Mess b/w Hard Out Here For A Gimp’ – she’s more punk and healthy than Jello lol guh.*
