\"\"Bully My Pushy<\/em> double 7″
\nAllied Records, 1991<\/p>\n

Twilight Pink \/ Hog Bottom<\/em> 7″
\nAllied Records, 1992<\/p>\n

Spent some time in Toronto recently, and that got me thinking about this classic, often overlooked T-dot postpunk group. Inspired by the dubby, danceable punk of the late ’80s DC scene, Phleg Camp’s early releases felt like a gruff version of Soulside<\/strong> \u2014 a sort of mutated funk rife with impassioned vocals and guitar supported by a bouncy rhythm section. Their first release and the Bully My Pushy<\/em> double 7″ really highlighted this sound, but by their first and final album, Ya’red Fair Scratch<\/em> on the Cargo label in 1993, their tone became much less dancey and more in line with the angular, tension-filled of the day, like The Jesus Lizard<\/strong>, Circus Lupus<\/strong>, and Jack O Nuts<\/strong>. It’s a fantastic album, so be sure to give it a spin HERE<\/a>. The Twilight Pink 7″ is interesting as it has a transitional sound, as the guitar sound became more textural and the basslines more serpetine, but not quite to the degree of the downbeat Ya’red Fair Scratch<\/em>. Check it out. And as an extra bonus, I’ve also got a rare track from a 7″ flexi compilation a buddy of mine put out.<\/p>\n
