Review by Joseph Zajdler

The Infamous Hamburger Transfer: A Raw, Unfiltered Blast of '97 Alt-Rock Chaos Let’s get one thing straight—Trunk Federation’s The Infamous Hamburger Transfer isn’t for everyone. This 1997 release from the US underground scene is as raw as it gets, with Alias Records giving it just enough polish to slap a label on but not enough to ruin its anarchic charm. If you’re into Alternative Rock that feels like someone threw a match into a dumpster fire and called it art, this album's your jam. First off, let’s talk about “Pinhead.” Holy crap, does this track hit hard or what? It kicks in like an adrenaline shot to the chest, all jagged riffs and pissed-off vocals. The groove grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go—it’s dirty, loud, and unapologetically aggressive. You can practically smell the stale beer and sweat dripping off every note. I remember this song because it’s relentless, man. No filler, no fluff, just pure attitude wrapped up in three minutes of chaos. It’s the kind of tune that makes you wanna punch something (or maybe dance awkwardly in your room—we don’t judge). Then there’s “Clyde Suckfinger,” which… yeah, even the title screams weirdness. What the hell kinda name is that? But damn if it ain’t memorable. This track has this creepy-ass vibe going on, like someone whispering secrets in your ear while standing way too close. The guitars are sludgy, almost crawling along at points, and the vocals sound like they were recorded through a busted megaphone. It’s unsettling, sure, but also kinda brilliant. When people ask me why I love obscure albums like this, I point them to tracks like “Clyde Suckfinger” and say, "See? This is rock music without rules." Now, I won’t pretend every track here is gold. Some songs feel like filler (“Over Rated” twice? Really?) and others, like “Beanie’s Soft Toy Factory,” are just plain bizarre. But honestly, that’s part of the charm. This album doesn’t try to be perfect; it tries to be real. And in 1997, when grunge was fading and pop-rock was starting to rear its shiny head, being real meant something. So yeah, The Infamous Hamburger Transfer might not change your life, but it’ll definitely leave a mark. Listening to it now feels like finding an old mixtape in the backseat of a junkyard car—it’s messy, unpredictable, and oddly nostalgic. And hey, isn’t that what rock ‘n’ roll’s supposed to be about? Final thought: Whoever named this album deserves a medal—or therapy. Seriously, hamburgers? Transfers? What the actual hell?

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The album *The Infamous Hamburger Transfer* by Trunk Federation is packed with quirky song titles that feel like they were scribbled on a napkin during a late-night brainstorm. Tracks like "Beanie's Soft Toy Factory" and "Sweetbread Viscera" give it a weirdly unique charm. Released in 1997 under the Alternative Rock banner, this U.S.-based band clearly had a sense of humor to match their edgy sound. It’s like they wanted you to raise an eyebrow *and* bang your head at the same time.
