by John BushFeaturing four guitars and a sound straight from those psychedelic 60s, Rhode Islands Plan 9 dealt with little except period covers on their first album, 1982s Frustration. The group added a batch of originals on Dealing With the Dead, and spent the next two albums compiling early singles (Plan 9) and documenting their live show (Ive Just Killed a Man, I Dont Want to See Any Meat). Plan 9 began to add remnants of hard rock with 1985s Keep Your Cool & Read the Rules, but after switching to Enigma, the group stripped its 60s influences and began sounding like a plain old rock band.
