Wingnut Supreme-F96

I booked Wingnut Supreme at a show opening for Earth Crisis in 1998. I’d never heard them before, but I was impressed with their ridiculously low tuning and harsh, mid-tempo hardcore sound. I bought a copy of their CD, F96, which became a favorite of mine (one of my old bands used to cover their song “Megatron”). Details on this band are hard to come by. They apparently got started playing in southern Louisiana, then moved to Los Angeles to try to make it big. As far as I can tell, this CD issued in 1998 by T.O.N. Records was their only official release. The band had a truly unique sound, and it’s a shame they never got further as an act. It’s worth checking out their MySpace page; while short on details, it does have some songs from an even more obscure release called "Hardhead" (perhaps a demo tape?).
