Touch Me I'm Sick is a short, snarling single, and Steve Turner's break lasts only a few seconds, but it helped define the early Sub Pop sound. The guitar is drenched in blown-out fuzz, so thick and ragged that notes blur into a roar. The solo is barely a solo at all, more a burst of noise that captures the song's sneering, garage-punk energy.
