Thanks for the second listen to a band I originally had written off. I thought Human Certainty was a great tune, but back in the day I could never warm up to them. I remember seeing them open for Black Flag (I think) and I couldn't wait for it to be over, guess I'll give 'em another chance based on these tracks.

"A Human Certainty" is an incredible song, possilby their best. I saw the reformed line-up a couple years ago in LA and they were sweet and still rocked the old stuff.

There were two tracks available on Chunks & Cracks previous to the LP, which I loved. I remember seeing them when the baldie hardcores first started showing up on the scene and they would run up to Brewer and toss complete beers right onto him, and just stand there, waiting for him to react, poor guy. He just sang right through it. That killer chicano guitarist always slayed me.

great choice! so highly underrated. Jack Brewer is a great poet and a nice guy. I really like their latest cd they put out in early 2000 also, which says alot since 99% of bands who put a record out after so long put out something completely unappealing.

Don't forget Slovenly! Possibly even more underrated.

The song on 'Chunks' is "A Christmas Cry," when "the middle class nobody pretends he's better than the lower class nobody," or something like that, with instruments crashing all around.

Hey, thanks for these songs!! I used to own an old sst 45 comp w the minutemen and sacch trust on it which was one of my favorite things back in the day, and coincidentally, when i happened upon this blog i thought to myself "gee, i should hunt me down some saccharine trust in some mp3blog somewheres", then i scroll down, and find this!!

Thanks from Medellin, Colombia,

"Surviving You" is out of print. Its definitely a cool LP. I picked a copy up on Ebay about a year ago for a reasonable price ($15, I think). Try gemm.com or musicstack.com. Someone might be selling the vinyl used. "Surviving You" was never released on CD. SST hasn't been particularly good to the Sac Trust back catalog (I read an interview with Joe Baiza from a few years back where he mentioned that trying to get Greg Ginn to do anything for the band was "futile"), although they did issue "Paganicons" on CD a few years back.
