Drive Like Jehu s sole 7-inch Bullet Train to Vegas b/w Hand Over Fist will be back in print on Merge beginning May 20, 2022. Originally released in 1992, its songs display a harnessing of powers first introduced on their self-titled record from the previous year and later fully realized on their final album, 1994 s Yank Crime. While recording Bullet Train to Vegas on the UCSD campus (drummer/producer Mark Trombino borrowed mics and cables from the theatre department next door), guitarist John Reis felt the urge to pick up a trash can and chuck it across the room. It s the crash that you hear just as Trombino and bassist Mike Kennedy engage, and you may feel a similar urge to do the same while listening to its unrelenting rhythms. Hand Over Fist slows things down slightly but by no means muffles the quartet s ferocity or Rick Froberg s trademark howl.
