Salem 66 - SALT LP
June 2025 release of recordings from the 1980s, limited hand-numbered blue vinyl edition.
While we like to keep our 20th century sliced up neatly into decades (I've always felt slicing the decades down the middle would be more accurate when separating the century into 10-year periods), these recordings from the 1980s appear to come out of the underground rock of Boston in the 1970s (and then by default the 1960s), forming bridges between the final decades of the 20th century, capturing the 1980s with an honesty much deeper than the mainstream (and capturing some of the stark constrasts of their specific geography), and like the other bands that accomplished that, this clearly foreshadows the 1990s. In some ways, the 1990s were over by 1989. But put all that historical to the back, and when listening to a band like this, the strength of the music might be its combination of jangle and darkness, vulnerability and courage. Many bands were able to blend these things into one, but none sounded exactly like what we've got here with this all-female Boston outfit. - winch
Conveniently located in the following collections: June new arrivals, 1980s, Massachusetts, Women Rock, All-Female Bands, and She Shreds. I even decided this should go in our Girl Group collection.
Formed in Boston's underground scene in 1982 by Judy Grunwald, Beth Kaplan, and Susan Merriam, Salem 66 created a trailblazing blend of post-punk, psychedelic pop, and experimental rock. An unsung influence on later woman-led independent bands, they forged a distinctive sound characterized by haunting vocals, melodic basslines, complex arrangements, and intensely vulnerable lyrics. From 1983 to 1988, the band recorded and toured extensively, sharing stages with the Butthole Surfers, Mission of Burma, and Dinosaur Jr. The first reissue of Salem 66’s music, SALT collects ten songs chosen by the songwriters from their cult-classic Homestead EP, singles, and four full-lengths, accompanied by a critical essay by musician Franklin Bruno, and retrospective notes by Grunwald and Kaplan. released June 6, 2025
