Blonde Vinyl Memorial

Chatterbox was an industrial punk side-band started by Jeff Belew of The Crucified fame. Only one album was officially released.

According to the Industrial Revoultion in Fall 1991: "Blonde Vinyl Records leads the label race to put cyber-punk on the map with acts like DEITIPHOBIA (featured in this issue of True News) and Chatter Box. Jeff Belew, of Crucified fame, will release his solo project for Blonde Vinyl sometime in the near future (the nearer the better, Jeff). I haven't yet received my copy of Chatter Box, but with all the talk around the Blonde Vinyl office, it promises to be an intense blend of industrial and punk...sort of a recent Ministry edge."

Liner Notes:
Industrialized punk-metal. Recorded in various places on various machines of varying quality. Drum-machines, fuzz bass, overdriven guitars, pounds of feedback and heavily processed vocals.

This Chatterbox CD is a collection of demos recorded prior to "Despite". The first 3 tracks were recorded at Mortal's studio. I got to watch. The next five tracks were recorded by Jeff, Garrett Morgan and myself on my 4-track at Garrett's house. I think I did some yelling and/or noise here and there. I think these were recorded prior to the Mortal demos, but maybe not. This would've been circa 93, so you'll forgive my poor memory. :) The next two songs are just Jeff and I (he on guitar and me on drums), recorded in the ex-Crucified House. The last credited song is just me, it was something I recorded for Jeff that he decided not to use. There's also a "hidden song" at the end that was recorded in my garage with Jeff, Christmas of 92.
