Beers, Steers & Queers by Revolting Cocks

Beers, Steers & Queers, the second studio album from Revolting Cocks, rolled out of Wax Trax! in May 1990, and it is exactly as subtle as its title. RevCo started life as a side project for Ministry's Al Jourgensen, Luc van Acker and Front 242's Richard 23, an American-Belgian gang with no interest in behaving; by now Chris Connelly was in the mix too, and Jourgensen produced.

The sound is industrial dance at its most gleefully obnoxious: percussion that loops until it turns into a trance, samples spliced in like party crashers, the whole thing aimed squarely at the dance floor. AllMusic's David Jeffries later wrote that it ruled college radio and the clubs, and it threw off three singles and more than one reissue. The tour that followed was, in Connelly's memory, ridiculous and chaotic, which sounds about right. It sits between the live set Live! You Goddamned Son of a Bitch and Linger Ficken' Good.
