Drive Through Charisma
Drive Through Charisma is the 1993 debut album by the Australian rock band The Fauves, released on Polydor. The original release of the album included a 22 track bonus disc, featuring early demos and some live songs. The bonus disc was accompanied by a separate booklet titled "22 Reasons Why A Band Shouldn't Put An Album Out In Its First Few Years." The booklet was written by the band and provided critical analysis for each track. Details
Guitarist Phil Leonard later said of the album, "I think we took a few too many dark alleys on Drive Through Charisma." Cox said, "We stumped up $15K for our first album and somehow managed to stooge Polydor into signing us who were then stuck with us for another three releases. Rarely has such a modest sum produced so much quantity. At 65 minutes with 23 track bonus disc it was like a meal at Sizzler - lots of it, but stay away from the salad bar. Reviewers were unanimous in their opinion that the album was long." Reception
Craig Mathieson said, "after two years of middling grunge dysfunctionalism, the Fauves are ready to take things a step further. Drive Through Charisma mixes hyper-kinetic Sonic Youth riff-play with the deep-seated obsessions of the group's two vocalist/songwriters: Physical corruption, social divergence, sexual deviancy, deception..."
