Pain Teens was an experimental noise rock band formed in Houston, Texas in 1985 by Scott Ayers and Bliss Blood.[1] The band used tape manipulation, digital delays, sampling, tape cut-ups and other effects in their music.[2] They also included guitar, violin, marimba, saxophone, percussion, and many other musical instruments.
Beginning in 1987, Pain Teens released nine cassette tapes and two LPs on their own Anomie Records label, all of which went out of print. Soon after, they released four LPs for Trance Syndicate Records, an Austin, Texas label run by King Coffey of the band Butthole Surfers.[2] Their eponymous first LP release was re-released by Mason Jones and Charnel Music in 1998.[3]
