homestead / lsr / dutch east india. hms 035 / 7 tracks / 1985

+ lyric sheet. Produced by Ian Burgess. Feat. Dave Bergeron (later in Jack Scratch), Chris Björklund (ex-Strike Under), Joe Haggerty (pre-Pegboy), Tom Woods; the latter three later joined the Effigies.

Rocking and melodic mid-tempo hardcore from Chicago; in line with the Naked Raygun/Effigies sound (and sharing some band members with the latter), maybe a bit more diverse in song structures and rhythms. A good catchy punk record that unfortunately has been largely forgotten. [7]

Rockiger, melodischer mid-tempo-Hardcore aus Chicago. Bloodsport sind ein wenig vielseitiger im Songwriting und in den Rhythmen, ansonsten ist das auf einer Linie mit Naked Raygun und den Effigies. Gute Platte, die leider kaum noch jemand kennt.

Tracks: better and best / hangman's dance / rhymes of reason / ghosts of scrooge / sixes and sevens / mettle of man / killing floor
