December 6 street date. The Fluid are arguably the great unsung band from the fertile underground rock scene of the late 1980s and early 90s. The Denver five-piece fused the fire of 80s hardcore with crunching Detroit protopunk, 60s garage rock, and 70s rock swagger. Think MC5, Faces, 70s Stones, all cranked up and really high on Sex Pistols and Black Flag singles. From 1986 to 1993, The Fluid put out four albums and a number of EPs and singles, including a split 7" with Nirvana in 1991, before doing one album for a major label and promptly disbanding. The Fluid were the first non-Seattle band to sign to Sub Pop, and the band fit right in on their nascent roster of acts who, wherever they stood on the spectrum of punk/rock/metal, shared a commitment to thunderous riffs and explosive live shows. The six-track "Glue" EP riginally came out in 1990, and is now back on vinyl for the first time since then, with two bonus tracks.
