Roundhouse is an album by Tar, released in 1992. Tar was a noise rock band from Chicago, known for their sharp, angular guitar work and a heavy, driving rhythm section. Their sound is often characterized by dense, metallic guitar tones and precise, powerful drumming, which are characteristic of the noise rock genre that gained prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The album Roundhouse showcases Tar’s ability to blend the intensity of punk rock with the more experimental and abrasive elements of noise rock. Tracks on this album are likely to feature dissonant guitar riffs, complex rhythms, and a generally forceful sound that reflects the band’s industrial and post-punk influences.

Lyrically, Tar’s songs tend to be concise and often imbued with a stark, straightforward approach. The themes might revolve around personal or social issues, delivered with a certain sharpness and intensity that matches the music’s aggressive style.
