DESCRIPTION:
Enjoy!! great band

One of the many offshoots of Savage Republic, Autumnfair based their sound in the early-'80s post-punk output of the Factory and 4AD labels. Savage Republic bassist/guitarist/vocalist Thom Fuhrmann started the band in 1986 with Val Haller, a bassist/vocalist who had previously played with Jayne County, the Flying Lizards, and Lords of the New Church. The remainder of the band included, at various points, Biff Sanders (an SR engineer), Scott Feemster, Caroline Topalian, Jack Housen, and Savage Republic's Greg Grunke. All told, they went through three lineups. Though the group quit operating in 1989, none of their material was issued until 1991, when Independent Project Records (the label run by SR's Bruce Licher) issued the 10" EP Glaciers and Gods in 1991. 11 years later, the Mobilization label (yet another SR-related imprint) released Autumnfair 1986-1989, a CD compilation that paired a remastered version of the 1991 EP with previously unissued material.
