Hydra Head Reissues the VSS' Nervous Circuits
Hydra Head-- home of nontraditionally extreme bands like Jesu, Pelican, Oxbow, and Xasthur-- will reissue San Francisco noise punk band the VSS' Nervous Circuits as a CD/DVD set on May 20.
The 1997 album, originally released on Honey Bear Records, was the VSS' only full-length release; members of the band went on to form Pleasure Forever and Year Future as well as found the Gold Standard Laboratories label.

The DVD features a slideshow of photos and fliers, a compilation of performances from the 1997 Nervous Circuits Tour, and footage of full live sets at the DUMBO Warehouse in Brooklyn, the Depot in Boulder, CO, and the Co-op in Berkeley, CA.
