Chainsaw Records First Compilation (1991 Full Album)


Playing Next: Omni - Networker (Full Album)
Random Page  /  Random Album


chainsaw records was an incredible (mostly) queercore diy record label that existed in the 90s-00s, run by donna dresch and based out of the pacific northwest. this is the comp that started it all (well, the zine started it all but this was the very first thing related to the label that donna put out physically). i'm guessing that this came out in 1991 because of donna's interview (which you can find below!), but i'm actually not so sure. took this from a tape rip i found on blogspot and edited the audio a bit in garageband to cut the buzz and make it a little louder. enjoy!

from a donna dresch interview:

\"Chainsaw started as a fanzine around 1988.



I made the fanzine as a kind of tool to help me find other freaky people like myself. I had always wanted to be part of an underground network of freaks, queers, radical thinkers and artists.

I made chainsaw as a way to introduce myself to the ones I read about in fanzines around the world (and to girls at shows).



Around 1991 i found myself in Washington DC with a box of 500 throwaway cassettes.

I decided the best use for them was to make a compilation cassette of all my favorite bands and people of the time. I mostly gave them away or sold them for food money when i was on tour with fifth column.



When i moved back to Olympia i got encouragement from my good friend Gary to start a label with my current job. I put out an authorized bootleg and then the frumpies 7″ and from then on i was a label.



I’m proud of every single chainsaw release. All these records are special to me. I’m inspired by the artists who create the music. I’ve always said the reason why i put out the records by the bands i do is because i really want my very own copy to listen to.\"
