PERSONNEL: Tim Green Jesse Quitslund Ben Wides Seth Lorinczi Vile Cherubs were a short-lived and puzzling band that for a brief window in 1986-88 managed to captivate, confuse, and annoy the D.C. punk scene. Consisting of high school classmates Tim Green (Nation Of Ulysses), Jesse Quitlsund (Capitol City Dusters), and Ben Wides—-along with Green’s childhood friend Seth Lorinczi (Circus Lupus)—-the Vile Cherubs were more focused on the then-forgotten sounds of ‘60s garage rock and psychedelia than on Minor Threat. Being minors themselves, they likely would’ve remained trapped in the school-dance circuit were it not for Geoff Turner (Gray Matter, 3), who took an interest in the band and recorded their two demos. Though the band released a posthumous LP in 1988, the original Geoff Turner demos explain why the D.C. scene briefly lost its shit over these teen ne’er-do-wells. Lovingly and exhaustively resuscitated by audio maestro Tim Green from the original multitrack tapes, “Lysergic Lamentations” is the Vile Cherubs at the height of their brief existence.
