• "Circus Chaos" review

"20 years after it was first released on vinyl, Clown Alley's only album is finally available on CD. Clown Alley were a thrash/punk band from San Francisco. They helped originate the punk/metal crossover sound along with groups such as DRI and Cro-Mags. The band consisted of vocalist Dave Duran, guitarist/producer Mark Deutrom, bassist Lori Black and drummer Justin Clayton. Black and Deutrom would each eventually play bass for the Melvins, and Deutrom produced their first two albums."
