With an output as tremendous as that of the Guided By Voices catalog, it can become a little overwhelming at times to keep up with all of Robert Pollard’s solo and side projects. I believe it’s totally forgivable to not listen to everything he churns out as soon as it’s released; however, I have to confess that I was extremely tardy to the Circus Devils party. I had heard about them way back in 2003, when the band was playing “Bull Spears” at the live shows, but I guess I just didn’t feel ready at the time to get into them. It wasn’t until Stomping Grounds was released in 2015 that I realized I had ignored this particular side project long enough. As soon as as I started listening, I realized what a fool I had been!
