RI: D: bitzcore. #5 / 1989

Original has large lyric & photo booklet. Test pressings with white labels, no pic sleeve. Reissue has a lyric poster.

Their first LP, still with Ed Pittman on vocals. Melodic, UK-influenced punk/hardcore with rough vocals and political lyrics; sounds a lot like the early Canadian punk bands like DOA or Subhumans. Good LP. [7]  

Erste LP der Band aus Ohio, damals noch mit Sänger Ed Pittmann. Der Sound erinnert mich sehr an kanadische Bands wie (frühe) DOA; UK-beeinflußter Melody-HC-Punk mit rauher Stimme und politischen Texten. Klingt zuweilen ein bißchen betrunken, was soll’s. Nicht übel.

Tracks: mercenary / drunk and disorderly / war hero / riot squad / noise boys / ghost town // killer / somebody help me / how do you feel / white noise / the shape / rally ’round the flag, boys
