Not a shred of info to be found online regarding
Bust, a D.C. area trio whose record came courtesy of the same imprint that brought us the
Starry Eyes ep (Sarah Shannon/Velocity Girl), and the
Guided By Voices/Girls vs. Boys split ep.
Joyce M. Raskin fronts the band with brother
Stephen manning the guitar, and a bloke named
Silas Green rounding things out on percussion. From the sound of both sides of this wax, Bust had a firm indie modus operandi, boasting the edgy pop accessibility of Fuzzy, and to a lesser extent Kim Deal. Throw in a modicum of post-riot grrrl musculature for added effect and you've got a real keeper on your hands. More irresistible with each listen.
A. Spin Up!
B. I'm Better

I wrote you a few months ago asking about this one and said you didn't have it...I'm tickled you found a copy because these are two great songs and I was sad when my copy got too scratched up to play.
Really? I don't recall, Ostrakos. Was this in an email or did you leave your request as a comment? At any rate, glad I was able to fulfill your request. Do you know if Bust had anything else out?
Joyce Raskin is the name of the bassist from Scarce, and she does have a brother mentioned in his book named Steven. But in her book, she mentions nothing of a band called Bust.
I sent you an e-mail. As far as I know, this was all Bust ever did. I'm pretty sure they never played live either.
Wonderful, thanks for share, there's a friend in xlpharmacy that knows a lot of classic music and he recommend this to me, because lately i have been getting a weird passion for classical music.
