squirtdown records. sq 101 / 15 tracks / 1986

Feat. Tony Fate and Randy Stain, later in the Grey Spikes.

Rocking hardcore from San Diego (this is the same band that did the “Mood Music” EP); some good faster hardcore songs, some good mid-tempo punk songs; things turns ugly when they go for that bluesy rock sound with guitar solos, though, but luckily that doesn't happen too often. The production is a bit muddy, especially on some A side tracks (live recordings?), but power and energy are definitely there. A good, overlooked LP. [7]

Rockiger Hardcore aus San Diego; einige gute schnellere Hardcore-Songs, ein paar nette Punksongs; die Probleme fangen an, wenn sie sich an bluesigem Rockpunk mit Gitarrensolos versuchen, was glücklicherweise nicht häufig geschieht. Die Produktion ist etwas seltsam, vor allem einige A-Seiten-Songs sind ziemlich dumpf (sind das Liveaufnahmen?), aber Power und Energie sind definitiv da. Gute LP.

Tracks: tunnelvision / stupid teacher / in the red / drink yourself to death / deadly mourning rain / constrictor / i fade away // machine gun blues / crashed my car today / never or never / fair share / long dark time / redd sunn / rome is burning / night gallery
