I had a collection of their music videos on VHS too.
-
They were bad, but they made all the other bands sound great!
-
This was the good kind. The gear moved the head cleaner back and forth like a brush.
-
From what I recall Play Both Sides was their only album, but virtually everyone had a copy so they must have been pretty good!
-
That's what you get from a one-hit-wonder. One Album tops and that's it.
-
And even now they don't get that. You listen to that one song that you kinda like then their album flops.

I think the leader started another group called Head Demagnetizer. Really loud, too!
-
-
Got their CD when it first came out. The weirdest track ran along a ring of little brush tufts coming out of the CD surface. This band had some serious experimentalism happening.
-
The hidden tracks were the best!
-
That was my nickname in college

That’s the cheap kind that ruined your heads. The good head cleaner had a little hole near the spool to drip isopropyl alcohol onto the cleaning tape.
-
IMO these are terrible, a qtip and some ipa work wonders. These usually cawe with some kind of ipa or acetone concoction that was way too aggressive and could damage your heads. Learned that the hard way
-
Oh don't get me started... they started their debut on Floppy Diskettes.
-
Shampoo branding was wild in the 90s
-
Oh yes, this is one of the places you can post it where people will remember what it is.
-
Head Cleaner unironically sounds like something a group really would've called themselves.
-
"How the hell am I supposed to clean my head with this?"
-
You stick it in one of the little toothy holes. It's a "ribbed for your pleasure" kind of deal.

VCR Head Cleaner is great, but you’ve got to get it from the adult shop. Definitely get you open to bangin’ tunes!
-
You gotta sniff the bottle to hear the album.
-
Wouldn't the band be "Play Both Sides", shotgun/dibs/etc., and the album called "Head Cleaner"?
-
Kind of sucks that my Commodore 1541 floppy drive (5.25" floppies) is giving me read/write errors, and I have no idea where I put my head cleaner floppy long ago. (Have to rely on SD2IEC on my Commodore 64, and it's not compatible with some turbo loaders or other programs that do weird drive magic.) And, of course, while I might run into head cleaner tapes on specialty shops, good luck running into 5.25" cleaner floppies these days.

These things suck ass. Just use a cotton swab.
-
A very good Merzbow song though.
