Baby Chaos, Love Your Self Abuse

Baby Chaos, Love Your Self Abuse - Back in early 1993 the four-piece rock outfit 'Baby Chaos' from Stewarton, South Glasgow appeared on the television programme "The Late Show" and were quickly snapped up by East West Records following their performance. Having only one release under their belt; the first "Buzz E.P." which was released through Elastic Honey Records, the band quickly brought out a host of singles and E.P.'s along with their 2004 debut album "Safe Sex Designer Drugs & The Death Of Rock 'N' Roll." With their new debut album to promote, the band went on tour supporting such bands as The Wildhearts, Terrorvison and Elastica. The band went on to release their follow-up album "Love Your Self Abuse" in 1996. Shortly after the album's release, drummer Davy Greenwood left the group due to unfortunate health problems and was soon replaced by the ex-Jesus Jones drummer Simon Gen Matthews. The album was again released by the East West record label.

The tracklisting is as follows:

1. She's In Pain

2. Hello

3. Try Hard To Be Psychic

4. Mental Bruising For Beginners

5. Ignoramus

6. The Sensual Art Of Suffocation

7. Confessions Of A Teenage Pervert

8. Get Along

9. The Penny Drop Ed

10. Pink

11. Rearrange You

12. Love Your Self Abuse

13. Loud And Clear

Following on from the group's outstanding debut album, Baby Chaos have managed to create another masterpiece of '90s British rock. The thirteen-track album sees the usual combination of punky-pop-rock with riff-dominant guitars and the emotionally charged vocals of Chris Gordon.

The album sprung up two singles with the tracks "Hello" and "Ignoramus." The two tracks are both superb anthems of rock 'n' roll, but they are not the only tracks on the album that stand out as potential single material. The tracks "Try Hard To Be Psychic" and "Confessions Of A Teenage Pervert" are two such examples of tracks that could well have made great singles.

All in all, the album is a must for anyone who is interested in the whole '90s British rock scene. Bursting with funky and thick riffs, the CD forms a solid pillar in the grou'ps forming, developing and changing career.

Baby Chaos later changed their name temporarily to 'Callahan' in 1997 before finally deciding on the name 'Deckard'. They have since released two albums - "Stereodreamscape" and "Dreams of Dynamite and Divinity" (to date).
