Grasshopper

Born Los­er is a five-song tape giv­en to me by the lead singer, Derek Madi­son, back in 1992. Not great pro­duc­tion qual­ity, but the ener­getic thrash still holds up well to a jad­ed ear. Derek obvi­ously had some stay­ing pow­er, because Grasshop­per still exists, six­teen years lat­er, under the name Grasshop­per Sound­Clash, Their MySpac.e page offers four songs to down­load, with a more melod­ic sound. “Mag­netic Super Blue” is catchy, and could eas­ily find a broad audience.
