Bedhead’s Music Is Reissued
Bedhead, a five-piece band from Wichita Falls, Texas, a town about a two-hour drive from Dallas, were one of the ’90s bands who pushed rock into new places. They were sometimes called slowcore and sometimes post-rock and they had elements of both of those sounds. Numero is embarking on an interesting project with boxed sets like “Beheaded Numero Group: 1996/2014.” Featured are American indie rock bands that have mostly been missed by people now under 30. They didn’t play the reunion tours, and they weren’t all that high profile in the first place. They were also bands that just barely touched on the early Internet, meaning they were a little too new to be canonized in, say the Spin or Trouser Press guides, but old enough that only a small percentage of the online coverage they received early on still remains. For people who loved these records then, having them back in print, in high quality sets, is welcome. They serve as a reminder of how interesting guitar music could be at this particular time and place.
