When I first put this on the turntable and started to hear the strumming guitar, I thought..Ah, this is going to be average at best, but to my surprise it gets progressively better throughout the six song play list. Bitter Pleasures was a Madison, Wisconsin band who fit squarely into the indie power pop classification with their incorporation of strong melodies, guitar riffing and tight vocal treatments. There’s a combination of up-tempo and mid-tempo numbers with “Respect For Silence” and “The Collision Within” being the standouts…A point of interest on this one - Butch Vig of later Garbage fame was one of the recording engineers on this obscurity…Private pressing…Out of print…
