One Nation Under a Groove

The project, originated in the mind of Daniele Mazza, started to materialize in 2006 after Daniele met with bass player Martino Garattoni.

Overkill mercifully chose to bide their time regarding the release of their first professionally produced live album. The early '90s brought us behind the scenes footage alongside then-new music videos in Videoscope, but other than bootlegs, quality live footage of Overkill was simply not easy to procure.

This is an event worth celebrating. Since 1970, trumpeter and saxophonist Joe McPhee's first album, Underground Railroad, has been virtually impossible to find or even hear. Issued in an edition of 500 copies on Craig Johnson's CJR label – it was recorded next to Johnson's house at the Holy Cross Monastery in West Park, New York – it sold out and was never reprinted until now. As part of Atavistic's unprecedented and truly essential Unheard Music Series, it is packaged as a double CD with a gig from earlier in 1969 at the very same place: Holy Cross Monastery.

Culled from three 1985 gigs in the UK during a transitional and transcendent time in the band’s story, Sonic Youth’s The Walls Have Ears appeared / disappeared as a 2LP set in 1986, not just a live album but an artful tapestry full of live experimentation with songs, between-song tape segues, darkness, humor and audio verité. It’s now issued for the first time officially under the band’s auspices.
