faceless records. 71279 / 4 tracks / 1979

I guess the cat.# of this & the other two EPs is the date the tracks have been mastered. Two pressings, #1 - 1000 made, #2 - 500 made with different sleeve and lyric sheet. I think the band photo sleeve was the second one.

Their debut 7”; good melodic punk, for a 1979 release this is surprisingly rough, very close to hardcore. The song structures are kind of odd, definitely no three-chord punk clichés. The music is melodic but also a bit angular, mainly because of the cool unusual bass lines. A good punk EP that is just a little bit different. [8]

Ein für diese Zeit schon recht derber Sound; schon fast Hardcore. Die Songstrukturen sind außergewöhnlich, melodisch, aber doch ein wenig schräg, was wohl hauptsächlich aufs Konto des Bassisten geht, der sich bemüht, auch mal etwas anderes als die üblichen 3 Töne zu spielen. Gut.

Tracks: no talk in the eighties / new spartans // all the whites are going negro / last hymn
