This 4-piece started as just 3 young punks, Joe Davis on guitar & vocals, David Andrews on bass & vocals, and Jason Kiernan on drums & cymbals. Banished to Dave's basement surviving on scratchy guitar melodies, slippery bass lines and hyperactive drumming! They emerged a year later as Preston Furman, the lo-fi wonders. Then came the final straw in the form of high-school buddy guitar savant Matt Wagner. With his proclivity toward contagious and dynamic song structure and guitar leads they quickly matured into the full-fledged purveyors of their unique brand of Messy Midwestern Punk!
The sound struck a chord with L.F.M. and....
Ticonderoga!
was released. A 4-song 7" ep, it quickly became the #1 requested single on college radio stations like WOUB in Athens. They packed 'em in for their hyper-kinetic live shows. Bodies po-go and shoes fly for these scrappy Ohio punks!  Don't be surprised when these boys are BIG STARS !

David Bleavens-Holm  -guitar, vocals
Melanie Bleveans-Holm  -bass, vocals

  Following the 1994 break-up of Ugly Stick, bandmates David Holm and Jeff Clowdus recruited local pals Melanie Bleveans and Brad Swiniarski to form Bigfoot.In 1995 the foursome added Bill Clark on banjo and pedal steel and began to work on a full length  record.The self-recorded  'Sleepwalk' was released in January of 1996 on LFM/Bluehouse records. Regular performances in the central Ohio area were highlighted by visits to Washington,D.C., New York City and Raleigh , North Carolina. Bigfoot said goodbye to Jeff Clowdus during the summer of 1996 but welcomed Bill Clark's transition to guitar and the addition of Jeff Woods on fender rhodes. A busy year with the new line-up followed and resulted in new material, a self recorded demo and increased support from the Columbus music scene.A new album is in the works and the summer of 1998 saw the release of a bigfoot seven-inch on Columbus' own Seldom Scene records.

Monster Zero

Brad C. now plays in The Jive Turkeys with Justin and Matt from Parsnip. Emily plays bass in The Means.

This Columbus, Ohio buzz quartet was born out of Middle America Suburban ® frustration! Fed by the driving guitar chants and introverted vocals of Brad Caulkins and John Jones, while Em Allen's hypnotic basslines and Derek Bell's power punch drumming churn the heart providing the pulsing circulation that keeps this Monster on its toes!
     Thrown together in Whitehall, Ohio, the band evolved from the seed of previous musical expreiments. These members exist in a highly tremultuous relationship who's eruptions fuel the fire  behind their brand of noisy guitar basement rock.
  It was their first show at Columbus' all-ages hangout Luna that they were first seen by Lizard and Rich of L.F.M. Their songwriting ability and sonic prowess was so obvious that they were quickly slated to record with L.F.M.
  Since the release of the "unkindest cuts of all" 7-inch they have hit the Top 10 radio play on many college stations and have yet to play a live show to less than 100 convulsing teens! A religious experience indeed.  What next?
Monster Zero has two tracks on the  L.F.M. compilation CD "The Beatuiful People", and a split 7" with Preston Furman!
                      

Ugly Stick

Mr. Al Huckabee moved to NYC and now plays drums in Crimson Sweet. Jeff, Ed and Dave are all in the Townsmen. Rumor has it that there is a new Ugly Stick record in the works...

"They make Mudhoney look like nuts & honey."
- Rich Cefalo

They have produced their own self-released cassettes and a CD which has been re-released on L.F.M. They're from Delaware, Ohio and combine a sense of country with down home punk roots. They released a 7" for L.F.M before guitarist Al Huckabee, esq. moved to New York.He now plays in the band Crimson Sweet.
     However, there's material in the L.F.M. vaults and it will be included on future L.F.M.
compilations! Nothing can describe the way their CD "Absinthe" will move you. Once it takes hold, you will be able to stop playing it.
  Singer Dave Holm and drummer Jeff Clowdus got together in a new L.F.M. band Bigfoot. David & Jeff both play guitar with bassist Melanie J. and Brad on drums. And finally Ed Mann, David Holm and Jeff Clowdus (with Brad Swiniarski on drums) are together again in the band called Townsmen.

US have two songs on the recently released
comp CD "The Beatuiful People",
