"Among the many band that constitued the Seattle 'Grunge Scene' of the late 1980's, a handful failed to publish recorded material during their time, for one reason or another. A few posthumous documents were released by some of these bands during the 90's. However, until now, one of the most prominent of these bands has been conspicuous in its absence from the record racks: Bundle of Hiss. I anticipate receiving a copy of this CD because my 12 year old cassette is wearing thin."
- Kim Thayil

"Vintage Seattle grunge from one of the original practitioners of the style... I always felt sad that this hard-working band never managed to get a record out, thus being "lost to history" almost. It was a pleasure (and a technical pain!) to finally resurrect all this stuff, for my own enjoyment, for the band, and for whomever else might care."
-Jack Endino

"An early Seattle Scene band that somehow managed to avoid becoming legendary, Bundle of Hiss is best remembered as the launching pad for Mudhoney drummer Dan Peters and Tad bassman Kurt Danielson. This 15 track collection shows BOH with a nice trio groove (with guitarist/vocalist Jamie Lane making three) and capable practitioners of the musical style that would become known as grunge. "Swamp" gets things going on a heavy note, with the psychedelic-influenced "Sleep No More" introducing the frenzied wah-wah pedal manipulation just regaining popularity at the time. A third highlight is "Drown", another wah-wah drenched cut. There are nine songs from the later BOH and six tracks from an earlier, less formed version of the band (with Russ Bartlett providing the vocalizing). An interesting historical document, especially given the work producer Jack Endino went through to assemble this collection. The masters for three tracks were lost and were recontructed from a mix cassette; other tapes had to be dried out to eliminate basement mildew. Inspirational line: "My brain's full of creosote!"
