My favorite Northwest bands -- 3. The U-Men


In the late 80's a sampler album came out named Deep 6 which promptly launched the Seattle sound soon to be known as "grunge." One of the few bands that didn't go onto to fame as a result of that album was The U-Men.
The U-Men are often overlooked when discussing Northwest bands who were influential... that's a shame. They were like a more aggressive version of The Birthday Party. Their shows were legendary for energy and chaos. If you haven't checked out The U-Men, do it now.
