Formed in Portland, Oregon, USA, Heatmiser are an alternative rock quartet comprising Neil Gust (guitar, vocals), Elliott Smith (vocals), Sam Coomes (bass) and Tony Lash (drums). Much of their early reputation hinged on the group's songwriting flair - Smith's more pop-orientated efforts contrasting nicely with the darker, melancholic detachment of Gust. These qualities were evident on the group's first two albums, Dead Air and Cop And Speeder, both released by Frontier Records.
However, for 1996's Mic City Sons, which was produced by Lash, the emphasis was on creating a more seamless, compulsive record. As Gust told the press: 'We made a conscious effort to do something more complete than what we've done in the past. We're rarely satisfied with anything we do, but since we essentially built our own studio as we went along, we were able to weed out a lot of the problems.' By this time Smith had released his third solo album for Kill City Records, building an audience almost as large as Heatmiser's.

A razor sharp, yet tasty snack that cosmetically resembles a unfried onion rings. Not only are they an excellent source of highly enriched corn product, but the small incisions they leave in the gums and roof of the mouth make Funyuns the quickest known method of dispersing garlic into one's blood stream. They may or may not cause cancer.

"It is advisable to avoid spides as they can get quite aggressive when confronted with reason. " never have truer words been spoken. what they also should have said is "millies fuck anything with a pulse and an adidas watch".
millies are the female spide. spides are like the chavs in Northern ireland. utterly pathetic, travelling in large groups to make sure they dont get "bate" usually living life on the dole, and the worst part, picking fights with random people for no other reason than you are there. Racist,sectarian,pathetic... the scum of the Earth and the bottom of the barrel in the evolutionary ladder.
