'''Beme Seed''' was an American psychedelic noise rock band led by Kathleen Lynch, known for her collaboration with the Butthole Surfers. The band utilized guitar feedback and chanting to invoke a droning atmosphere in their music described as "panic inducing",<ref name="Trouser_Press">{{cite web | first=Ian | last=Christe | title=Beme Seed | url=http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=beme_seed | work=TrouserPress.com}}</ref> and "supernatural".<ref name="Head_Heritage">{{cite web | author=The Seth Man | title=Beme Seed | url=http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/thebookofseth/1520 | work=Head Heritage | date=2006-04-11}}</ref> Trouser Press said of the band: "Lacking the minimal organization of even the Sun City Girls, Beme Seed captures unique psychic qualities on its three opaque and unsettling records."<ref name="Trouser_Press" /> The demise of Beme Seed in 1992 can be seen as marking the transition from the "underground music" of the 1980s to the "alternative rock" of the early 1990s.<ref name="Trouser_Press" />
