Barking Tribe 7" (1991, Atomik Industries)

God knows I've probably passed up on buying Barking Tribe's 1991 LP, Serpent Go Home, from many a cut-out and bargain bin over the decades, but it wasn't until I ran into a used copy of this 45 that I made any conscious effort to explore what this combo was all about.  After experiencing both sides of this wax I'm still not entirely sure if I really "get" whatever the heck they were trying to perpetrate.  "White Man's Mind" is a roiling riff-rocker to be sure, splayed out like a feral amalgam of AC/DC, Georgia Satellites, and maybe even a smidge of Motorhead.  "Worm in the Apple Ed," the lesser of the pair, loosely exudes vibes not dissimilar to Mercyland and the Meat Puppets more wailin' forays.  Nutshell speaking, I just might have to catch up with that aforementioned cut-out after all.  Enjoy.
