Rollins was a fan, for sure. His short-lived Infinite Zero label reissued some Contortions and James White & the Blacks LPs on CD in the mid-1990s.

I'd never made the Minutemen connection before (and Jesus, I've liked these records since the 80s), but it makes total sense. (Although I can't actually confirm Watt, Boon, or Hurley's enjoyment or Mr. Chance. But I'd bet on it.) That wiry guitar sound and integrating funk into punk before the idea become shitty.

Yeah.. shit. I was pretty into those Antarctica records in the late 90s/early 00s (still am just.. don't know where those CDs went). RIP.
That sucks. RIP. I was also into those Antarctica records. My buddy and I braved a brutal snow storm to see them at (I think) their first Chicago show at The Fireside. One of the other bands didnt make it, and I think counting the bands there were 9 people there. They still played great.
