Sprung from the DC punk and politics that inspired Dischord, TeenBeat and the Riot Grrrl revolution, Washington, DC's Tsunami crashed into the '90s with wit, distortion and a sharp-tongued feminist spirit. This five LP box set collects eleven 7's, 4-track demos, 1993's 'Deep End', 1994's 'The Heart's Tremolo', plus the first-ever vinyl pressing of 1997's acclaimed 'A Brilliant Mistake'. Drawing on the suitcase archives of their own Simple Machines Records, Tsunami's ambition - from all ages basement shows to the second stage of Lollapalooza - is captured in essays, photos, and ephemera, revealing the DIY history of the alternative music revolution.
