bona fide punk archives series. #2 / bf-7006 / 3 tracks / 1989

Both bands feat. Greg Prevost (pre-Chesterfield Kings) on vocals. Tar Babies feat. Andy Babiuk (pre-Chesterfield Kings) on guitar. Tar Babies are not the “Face the Music” Tar Babies on SST of course.

Noisy 60s punk/r’n’r/punk with obnoxiously screamed vocals. Quite good for 60s punk fans I guess, but it’s not really for me. 1989 reissue has one extra track from a 1978 demo by another Greg Prevost band, same style. [6]

Die Distorted Levels war eine Bands um Greg Prevost, der später bei den Chesterfield Kings war. Ultra-krachiger 60s-Punk/ Rock’n’Roll/ Punk; hat durchaus Power, und den 60s-Fanatikern läuft so was sicher gut rein. Ist trotzdem nicht so ganz mein Ding. Die 89er-Reissue hat zusätzlich einen Demotrack von Prevosts anderer Band, den Tar Babies (die aber nichts mit der SST-Band zu tun haben).

Tracks: Tar Babies - rejected at the high school dance // Distorted Levels - hey mister / red swirls
