Magnet Magazine used to run a pretty regular column called Lost Classics, in which they'd follow-up on buzz bands that are no more. In this edition,
they revisited the 1995 debut album Bait And Switch by Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments:
Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments “singer” Ron House (formerly of Columbus, Ohio’s Great Plains) bellowed and wailed—even occasionally carrying a tune—on this razor-sharp-yet-unrefined debut LP from arguably Cowtown’s best band. Writing songs equally charged with humor and vitriol (“Blow it up before Steve Albini makes a speech,” he ranted on “RnR Hall Of Fame”), House, serving as a cantankerous Mick Jagger to guitarist Bob Petric’s surly Keith Richards, created an incendiary near-masterpiece.
