Alas, only from afar.  With looks and attitude aplenty, she was more than a bit intimidating.  She seemed to have a talent for drawing attention at shows, although, it must be said, she was hard not to notice.  Sadly, while googling the band a while back, I was shocked to find out that Bobbi passed away due to cancer at the age of 26 way back in &#39;88.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The band had tracks on several comps, including the third and final Rodney On the Roq record, but this was their only proper release.  I believe Grand Theft Audio released a CD of this and a bunch of bonus material a decade or so ago, so grab it if you still can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A frequent visitor to this site sent a couple of old snapshots of the band including one of Bobbi Brat&#39;s headstone.  So, thanks go out to Stephanie. BTW, anyone with pics of old shows and what-not, please send them in.  I&#39;d love to include relevant photos to the posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Red Scare&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Then There Were None&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Last Request.mp3&quot;&gt;Last Request&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Don&#39;t Look In the Basement.mp3&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t Look in the Basement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Mind Inertia.mp3&quot;&gt;Mind Inertia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Red Rum.mp3&quot;&gt;Red Rum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Looking For Why.mp3&quot;&gt;Looking for Why&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Then There Were None.mp3&quot;&gt;Then There Were None&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Flight 007.mp3&quot;&gt;Flight 007&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Sunny.mp3&quot;&gt;Sunny&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Anything Goes.mp3&quot;&gt;Anything Goes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Way Out West.mp3&quot;&gt;Way Out West&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Red Scare/Street Life.mp3&quot;&gt;Street Life&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/RedScare%20edit01%20crop.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; SIZE:100%; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/RedScare%20edit01%20crop.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Shot taken @ The Olympic Auditorium, April 13, 1984 (on the bill that night: Subhumans, The Dicks, MDC, Red Scare)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114842242368018031/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114842242368018031&amp;isPopup=true' title='56 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114842242368018031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114842242368018031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/05/red-scare.html' title='Red Scare'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:total>56</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114775761645762985</id><published>2006-05-22T21:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-22T12:57:32.560-07:00</updated><title type='text'>American Bands w/ English Singers, Pt.1 of a 1 part series</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Okay, I&#39;m not sure if the singer from &lt;strong&gt;Subterfuge&lt;/strong&gt; is actually English but he may as well be,  hence their inclusion in this series.  This is another one of those records I&#39;ve owned forever but don&#39;t think I ever actually listened to.  Maybe it was the dorky cover that turned me off initially (what made me buy it then?), but again, as with the &lt;strong&gt;Breakouts&lt;/strong&gt; EP I posted awhile back, I was actually surprised to find myself liking it.  Very UK82-ish sounding, which is okay by me, and from Las Vegas no less.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Subterfuge&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Who&#39;s the Fool?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/Mercury.mp3&quot;&gt;Mercury&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/24 Hours.mp3&quot;&gt;24 Hours&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/Irish Eyes.mp3&quot;&gt;Irish Eyes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/Jodie.mp3&quot;&gt;Jodie&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/Darling.mp3&quot;&gt;Darling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/Who&#39;s the Fool.mp3&quot;&gt;Who&#39;s the Fool&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/Macho Man.mp3&quot;&gt;Macho Man&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/Solitary Confinement.mp3&quot;&gt;Solitary Confinement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/Legal Who.mp3&quot;&gt;Legal Who&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Subterfuge/Stance.mp3&quot;&gt;Stance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Dischords&lt;/strong&gt; did, however, definately have a British singer and were from the So-Cal area.  Sadly, I sold my copy* of this one a few years ago.  The audio here is from one of my many, dozens of obsessively made cassettes which I&#39;ve somehow managed to hold onto, all these years later.  Sorta miss making those.  One things for sure, it was a lot easier than this digitizing crap; just put the needle down, hit play &amp; record, and go.  Even with the hours I used to put into drawing agonizingly faithful representations of the bands&#39; logos on the cassette J-cards (what can I say, I was young...and lonely, apparently), I feel like it takes longer now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*see my &quot;Wall of Shame&quot; over there to the left&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/dischords.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/dischords.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;1982 Reckless&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dischords&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Dirty Habits&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Dischords/01 When You&#39;re Young.mp3&quot;&gt;When You&#39;re Young&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Dischords/02 Just Another Day.mp3&quot;&gt;Just Another Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Dischords/03 Dirty Habits.mp3&quot;&gt;Dirty Habits&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Dischords/04 Amphetamine Love.mp3&quot;&gt;Amphetamine Love&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114775761645762985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114775761645762985&amp;isPopup=true' title='28 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114775761645762985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114775761645762985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/05/american-bands-w-english-singers-pt1.html' title='American Bands w/ English Singers, Pt.1 of a 1 part series'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:total>28</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114799479554892883</id><published>2006-05-18T16:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-19T12:31:04.476-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Damned - Dodgy Demo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/Damned%20Dodgy.3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/Damned%20Dodgy.3.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;1979 Dodgy Demo Company&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Damned&#39;s &lt;/strong&gt;&quot;Love Song&quot; has to be one of the best punk rock songs of all time and, in my estimation, qualifies as one of the best &quot;rock&quot; songs of all time as well.  It&#39;s really a perfect song; great melodies, great guitar parts, attitude to spare, speed, and a perfect arrangement.  The fact that they were able to inject some clever humor into the whole mess via Vanian&#39;s tongue-in-cheek lyrics is an added bonus as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the excrutiatingly detailed &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idiotbox.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Damned Discography&lt;/a&gt;, this 7&quot; &quot;was given away free at the bands gigs at the Croydon Greyhound, London on 7 January 1979 and the Electric Ballrom, London on 23 January 1979&quot; several months ahead of the official release of the &quot;Love Song&quot; single on the Chiswick label.  Both tracks are demo versions. The b-side, &quot;Burglar&quot;, is pure novelty and features drummer Rat Scabies on vocals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember reading somewhere that a certain &lt;strong&gt;Damned&lt;/strong&gt; performance in D.C. had had a profound impact on that city&#39;s then fledgling scene.  Makes sense to me.  You can really hear the echos of &quot;Love Song&quot; and some other Damned tunes, such as &quot;Melody Lee&quot;, in material from bands like &lt;strong&gt;Scream&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Minor Threat&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Black Market Baby&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Damned&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Dodgy Demo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Damned/Love Song - Dodgy Demo.mp3&quot;&gt;Love Song (demo)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Damned/Burglar - Dodgy Demo.mp3&quot;&gt;Burglar (demo)&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114799479554892883/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114799479554892883&amp;isPopup=true' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114799479554892883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114799479554892883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/05/damned-dodgy-demo.html' title='Damned - Dodgy Demo'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114784229684294690</id><published>2006-05-16T21:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-17T00:00:26.116-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Vox Pop</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/VP1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/VP1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;1980 Bad Trip Records&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vox Pop&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Cab Driver &lt;/em&gt;b/w &lt;em&gt;Just Like Your Mom&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Vox Pop/Cab Driver.mp3&quot;&gt;Cab Driver&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Vox Pop/Just Like Your Mom.mp3&quot;&gt;Just Like Your Mom&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;This post marks this website&#39;s first foray into nudity, and wouldn&#39;t you know it, full-frontal male nudity to boot.  Does this mean I need to get one of those splash-screen/disclaimer/warning things?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vox Pop were started by the uber-prolific &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jeffdahlrocks.com&quot;&gt;Jeff Dahl&lt;/a&gt; (Angry Samoans, Powertrip, Jeff Dahl, etc.) and several members of 45 Grave; those members being &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dinahcancer.com&quot;&gt;Dinah Cancer&lt;/a&gt;, Don Bolles, and one of my all-time favorite guitar players, Paul B. Cutler...oh, and two other guys whom I&#39;m haven&#39;t a clue about (maybe someone will be nice enough to clue me in?).  According to the bio on Dahl&#39;s site the band was known for their &quot;volatile shows and decadent behavior&quot;.  As I never saw them play, I&#39;ll take his word for it, for as the title of his site proclaims, Jeff Dahl Rocks!  But seriously, the 7&quot; is definately a little more straight forward and generally less weird than the 12&quot; EP, however both are worth a listen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, I&#39;ve always just assumed that Bolles was the nude guy on the cover of the 12&quot; but now that I look, I&#39;m not sure.

I never saw them as SA but did catch them shortly after changing their name, still pretty cool.  They&#39;re credited with starting the &quot;paisley undeground&quot; &quot;scene&quot; which seemed more a loose grouping of bands with vague, psychadelic leanings than any coherent music scene. Some others usually lumped into that category are Dream Syndicate and Green On Red, both of which put out pretty cool EPs during &#39;81. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, one of the best from the label that brought you other South Bay greats such as the Descendents, Minutemen, and Secret Hate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salvation Army&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Mind Gardens&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/SA/Mind Gardens.mp3&quot;&gt;Mind Gardens&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/SA/Happen Happened.mp3&quot;&gt;Happen Happened&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114771338549675703/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114771338549675703&amp;isPopup=true' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114771338549675703'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114771338549675703'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/05/salvation-army.html' title='Salvation Army'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114739433469116978</id><published>2006-05-11T17:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-12T12:00:36.683-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Tooth and Nail</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/T%26N.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/T%26N.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;1978 Upsetter Records&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Another day, another comp.  Released on Upsetter in &#39;79, this one&#39;s often touted as the first all LA/OC compilation.  Not sure if that&#39;s really accurate as Negative Trend is from SF which sorta squelches that whole claim. Nonethelss, it has tons of great tracks including &quot;Love is Just a Tool&quot; from Middle Class which, in retrospect, sounds like &quot;the&quot; model song for so many &quot;hardcore&quot; bands that would soon follow.  Also I believe most, if not all, of the tracks were recorded exclusively for this record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tooth and Nail&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Controllers &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Another Day.mp3&quot;&gt;Another Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Controllers &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Electric Church.mp3&quot;&gt;Electric Church&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Controllers &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Jezebel.mp3&quot;&gt;Jezebel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flesh Eaters &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/The Word Goes Flesh.mp3&quot;&gt;The Word Goes Flesh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flesh Eaters &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Pony Dress.mp3&quot;&gt;Pony Dress&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flesh Eaters &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Version Nation.mp3&quot;&gt;Version Nation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UXA &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Social Circle.mp3&quot;&gt;Social Circle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UXA &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/UXA.mp3&quot;&gt;UXA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negative Trend &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/I Got Power.mp3&quot;&gt;I Got Power&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negative Trend &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Mercenaries.mp3&quot;&gt;Mercenaries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Middle Class &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Love Is Just A Tool.mp3&quot;&gt;Love Is Just A Tool&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Middle Class &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Above Suspicion.mp3&quot;&gt;Above Suspicion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germs &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Manimal.mp3&quot;&gt;Manimal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germs &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Dragon Lady.mp3&quot;&gt;Dragon Lady&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germs &lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Tooth and Nail/Strange Notes.mp3&quot;&gt;Strange Notes&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114739433469116978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114739433469116978&amp;isPopup=true' title='114 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114739433469116978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114739433469116978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/05/tooth-and-nail.html' title='Tooth and Nail'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:total>114</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114670396652394604</id><published>2006-05-03T17:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-10T17:53:59.826-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Adverts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/adverts%20chord.3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/adverts%20chord.3.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;To some of our readers this post will seem as obvious and hackneyed as a &lt;strong&gt;Sex Pistols &lt;/strong&gt;post.  However, I&#39;m willing to bet that many of my fellow countrymen are as ignorant of the &lt;strong&gt;Advert&#39;s&lt;/strong&gt; legacy as I was, not so long ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first time I heard their records, in particular &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, my first thoughts were, &quot;holysh@t, this is great!&quot; and &quot;how the f*@k did I miss this??!!&quot;.  Guess I was too busy listening to the latest hardcore release back then to bother to delve deeper into punk&#39;s earlier roots (something I routinely accuse today&#39;s music fans of doing).  But hey, better late than never.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Armed with truly great songs, The Adverts played with total sincerity and that exhilarating sense of urgency that all your best punk rock has.  They may not have been the tightest band ever (they&#39;re sorta sloppy) but that actually adds to the excitement.  Unfortunately the band followed the all to familiar career arc of &quot;fast rise / hit song / celebrated first album / adventurous sophomore record / alienated fan base / inevitable break-up and fade into relative obscurity&quot;.  It seems the fans weren&#39;t ready for keyboards and the like mixed in with their punk rock just yet.  Nevertheless, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cast of Thousands&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, their critically and commercially unsuccessful last album, seems every bit as brilliant today as their earlier material. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&#39;s more to their story for those that are interested but rather than regurgitate it here, go to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.punk77.co.uk/groups/adverts.htm&quot;&gt;Punk77 &lt;/a&gt;site.  They&#39;ve got a pretty comprehensive discography/biography as well as interviews with singer TV Smith and bassist/heart-throb, Gaye Advert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their records aren&#39;t particularly rare or obscure, just good, so check &#39;em out.  Also, there&#39;s a good anthology out now, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008WG4C/103-4458192-5663866?v=glance&amp;n=5174&quot;&gt;The Adverts Anthology&lt;/a&gt; that has pretty much all of their output, including a disc of live performances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gary Gilmore&#39;s Eyes b/w Bored Teenagers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - 1977 Anchor Records&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Adverts/02 Bored Teenagers 2.mp3&quot;&gt;Bored Teenagers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - 1978 Bright Records&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Adverts/01 One Chord Wonders.mp3&quot;&gt;One Chord Wonders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Adverts/06 Bombsite Boys.mp3&quot;&gt;Bombsite Boys&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Adverts/07 No Time to be 21.mp3&quot;&gt;No Time to be 21&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Adverts/11 Great British Mistake.mp3&quot;&gt;Great British Mistake&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cast of Thousands&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - 1979 RCA Records&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Adverts/02 The Adverts.mp3&quot;&gt;The Adverts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Adverts/08 I Surrender.mp3&quot;&gt;I Surrender&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/Adverts%203x3%20copy%20small.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/Adverts%203x3%20copy%20small.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114670396652394604/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114670396652394604&amp;isPopup=true' title='61 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114670396652394604'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114670396652394604'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/05/adverts.html' title='The Adverts'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12138623367190948121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>61</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114660847219683217</id><published>2006-05-02T15:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-02T15:37:55.590-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Savage Beliefs</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/SB1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/SB1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;1983 Wasteland Records&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;It&#39;s getting harder and harder to find something to post that either hasn&#39;t appeared already on one of the other blogs or which hasn&#39;t yet been re-issued.  So here&#39;s one which, I think, fits that criteria.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hailing from the greater Chicago area, it&#39;s Savage Beliefs with their one and only proper release (other than comp tracks, of course).  Yes, believe it or not, I do own some non-LA records.  I bought this because of the Brian Gay connection.  He being the original guitarist for D.C.&#39;s infamous &lt;strong&gt;Government Issue&lt;/strong&gt;.  But it seems that what excites people most, is the connection to Chicago&#39;s &lt;strong&gt;Big Black&lt;/strong&gt;.  Bassist Dave Riley went on to play for that band, as many who care, know.  This record has a undeniable &lt;strong&gt;Naked Raygun &lt;/strong&gt;thing to it as well as, I think, that underlying &quot;working class&quot; vibe that most Chicago punk has.  Not that I would know if these guys were actually &quot;working class&quot; or something, just sounds that way to me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/SB2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/SB2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Savage Beliefs&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;The Moral Efficiency of Savage Beliefs&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Savage Beliefs/The Moral Efficiency of Savage Beliefs/01 Outskirts.mp3&quot;&gt;Outskirts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Savage Beliefs/The Moral Efficiency of Savage Beliefs/02 Big Big Sky.mp3&quot;&gt;Big Big Sky&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Savage Beliefs/The Moral Efficiency of Savage Beliefs/03 Jake.mp3&quot;&gt;Jake&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Savage Beliefs/The Moral Efficiency of Savage Beliefs/04 Theme.mp3&quot;&gt;Theme&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Savage Beliefs/The Moral Efficiency of Savage Beliefs/05 Way of the World.mp3&quot;&gt;Way of the World&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Savage Beliefs/The Moral Efficiency of Savage Beliefs/06 Pink Shirt.mp3&quot;&gt;Pink Shirt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Savage Beliefs/The Moral Efficiency of Savage Beliefs/07 What&#39;s Left In the Fridge.mp3&quot;&gt;What&#39;s Left in the Fridge&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114660847219683217/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114660847219683217&amp;isPopup=true' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114660847219683217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114660847219683217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/05/savage-beliefs.html' title='Savage Beliefs'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12138623367190948121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114642125237197122</id><published>2006-04-30T10:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-01T17:26:45.706-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Crowd</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/Crowd.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/Crowd.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;1980 Posh Boy Records&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The sun is finally starting to come out here after what has been one of the dreariest Aprils in recent memory so I think some beach punk is definately in order.  So here&#39;s another request and with it, another O.C. Posh Boy classic.  The Crowd, of course, are arguably one of the first, if not the first, O.C. punk bands.  They have the best tracks on the &lt;strong&gt;Beach Blvd.&lt;/strong&gt; comp as well as one of the best songs, &quot;Right Time&quot;, on the first &lt;strong&gt;Rodney on the Roq &lt;/strong&gt;comp (also featured here).  I never got a chance to see them back in their heyday so any first person accounts are welcome.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all things L.A./O.C. punk, check out the really nice site Michelle, from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flipsidefanzine.com/&quot;&gt;Flipside&lt;/a&gt;, has up.  She&#39;s got great, personal snapshots of the Crowd, as well as many other bands and scenesters from the era.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I&#39;m not aware of any pending re-release of this one, so hopefully no menacing emails (ala, the one I received from Doug Moody) will be coming my way again any time soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Crowd&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;A World Apart&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/01 Something Said.mp3&quot;&gt;Something Said&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/02 Can&#39;t Talk.mp3&quot;&gt;Can&#39;t Talk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/03 Right Time.mp3&quot;&gt;Right Time&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/04 Desmond and Kathy.mp3&quot;&gt;Desmond and Kathy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/05 As You Were (Tomorrow).mp3&quot;&gt;As You Were (Tomorrow)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/06 On My Own.mp3&quot;&gt;On My Own&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/07 Pleasure Seekeer.mp3&quot;&gt;Pleasure Seeker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/08 He.mp3&quot;&gt;He&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/09 What&#39;s In a Name.mp3&quot;&gt;What&#39;s In a Name&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/The Crowd/10 Melody Hill.mp3&quot;&gt;Melody Hill&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114642125237197122/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114642125237197122&amp;isPopup=true' title='27 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114642125237197122'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114642125237197122'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/04/crowd.html' title='The Crowd'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12138623367190948121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>27</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114602960767771537</id><published>2006-04-25T22:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-30T19:21:54.233-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Suburban Lawns</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/SL%20Gidget.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/SL%20Gidget.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;1979 Suburban Industrial&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suburban Lawns&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Gidget Goes to Hell &lt;/em&gt;7&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/SuburbanLawns/Gidget Goes to Hell.mp3&quot;&gt;Gidget Goes to Hell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/SuburbanLawns/My Boyfriend.mp3&quot;&gt;My Boyfriend&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Someone wrote in recently professing his love for Sue Tissue of Suburban Lawns after first seeing her New Wave Theatre clip here on this site.

Ya gotta love the freeze frame they do on Sue Tissue&#39;s scary grimace towards the end of the song.  Also, notice the stage diving action during the Circle Jerks clip.  It&#39;s actually from a Dead Kennedy&#39;s segment which I&#39;ll also be posting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s funny how inarticulate most of the bands were when interviewed by Ivers.  You&#39;d think somebody would have something interesting or funny to say.  But no, they mostly just stand there looking helpless and awkward, apparently wishing it would end.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114523558205325887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114523558205325887&amp;isPopup=true' title='19 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114523558205325887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114523558205325887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/04/new-wave-theatre-pt-2.html' title='New Wave Theatre Pt. 2'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12138623367190948121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>19</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114512383231507997</id><published>2006-04-15T10:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-15T11:09:17.180-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New Wave Theatre Pt. 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/NWT/Angry Samoans NWT.wmv&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/Angry%20Samoans1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Angry Samoans &quot;Gas Chamber / Not of This Earth&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/NWT/45Grave Wax NWT.wmv&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/45%20Grave%201.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;45 Grave &quot;Wax&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Sorry for the long lapse between posts, but I&#39;ve been fighting a nasty cold these last 7 or 8 days.

I remember him telling me that the reason the host wore those sun glasses while delivering his monologues was because he couldn&#39;t look we, the audience, in the &quot;eye&quot; and say those things.

This being the French version, it&#39;s also on lovely yellow vinyl.  Funny how colored vinyl can somehow make the music sound even better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven&#39;t listened to &lt;strong&gt;Q:Are We Not Men?&lt;/strong&gt; in a while, so don&#39;t quote me, but I&#39;m almost positive these versions are different (and better) than the later Warner versions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Devo - Be Stiff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/DEVO/Be Stiff/Jocko Homo.mp3&quot;&gt;Jocko Homo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/DEVO/Be Stiff/Satisfaction.mp3&quot;&gt;Satisfaction&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/DEVO/Be Stiff/Be Stiff.mp3&quot;&gt;Be Stiff&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/DEVO/Be Stiff/Mongoloid.mp3&quot;&gt;Mongoloid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/DEVO/Be Stiff/Sloppy.mp3&quot;&gt;Sloppy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/DEVO/Be Stiff/Social Fools.mp3&quot;&gt;Social Fools&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114420701626602902/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114420701626602902&amp;isPopup=true' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114420701626602902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114420701626602902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/04/devo.html' title='Devo'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12138623367190948121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114387139263759985</id><published>2006-03-31T21:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-04-07T12:42:03.253-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Super Heroines</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/sh1%20copy.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/sh1%20copy.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Nothing goes better with seemingly endless rain than a little good ole fashioned death rock from our friends at Bemisbrain Records.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I first heard the band, as most did, on the now legendary &lt;strong&gt;Hell Comes to Your House&lt;/strong&gt; comp.  While the tracks on this, their first LP, aren&#39;t as fast as those on &lt;strong&gt;HCTYH&lt;/strong&gt; there are still some pretty nice moments.  &quot;Cry For Help&quot; , &quot;Blue Blood&quot;, and &quot;Run From Reality&quot; would be my first choices off this &quot;beast&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking around on the web I see that singer/guitarist Eva O was still pretty active in the goth scene up until around the time Rozz from &lt;strong&gt;Christian Death &lt;/strong&gt;killed himself but is now apparently a Christian.  Hmph, I mean I&#39;ve heard of vegatarians marrying butchers but I&#39;m not sure I saw that one coming....but wait a minute, I just went to her &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/mzevaoandherguns&quot;&gt;My Space&lt;/a&gt; page and holy crap, now I&#39;m scared.  Those don&#39;t look like any Christians I&#39;ve ever seen.

So here we go.  We&#39;ve got some good Secret Hate tracks here, as well as the best Crewd tracks on record, and who can resist those rascals, or should I say &quot;little devils&quot; from Mad Society (sorry, it&#39;s getting late and I&#39;m getting slap happy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s sorta funny to see Mystic Records&#39; stock rise, so to speak, all these years later.  Not that they didn&#39;t put out some good stuff, they did have a few including this one, it&#39;s just that the label always seemed a little on the cheesy side.  In fact, I was floored at the response another Mystic release got on one of the other blogs.  People seemed to be really geekin&#39; over it.  Now that I sound like a major record snob, I&#39;ll stop.....although, all the hubbub &lt;strong&gt;did&lt;/strong&gt; get me to take another listen and, I have to admit, the record in question did sound alot better than remembered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I am reminded of a certain line from &lt;em&gt;Raider&#39;s of the Lost Ark &lt;/em&gt;that the character Belloq utters to Indiana Jones with regard to the nature and value of antiquities while he and......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now a word from our sponsor:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thank you for the promotion of Mystic Records....I am all for and always have been for the unknown and the unheard.....after achieving 41 gold and platinum records...I deceided to devote the rest of my life and money.....to unknown groups who had something to say..  Myustic took half a million dollars in the 80s to build and I was the only investor.....Mystic is a platform of voices and not sales as are most other record companies are....still it takes some sales and income to keep going and I still have 300 full reels of unknowns to release.........Personally I do not care what you or any one else says or thinks about me...BUT do not play games with MYSTIC...it will bite you....it will always be bigger than any bad mouth......Now about downloading.........ALL RIGHTS      HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO   The  Orchard  an internet distributor........before you decide to have a Mystic  downloading site I suggest you contact the legal guardian of the Mystic downloading rights     The Orchard.com  for permission.....again thank you for helping the groups and Mystic    Doug &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracks removed by request, see comments for the whole, sorted story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picture courtesy of &lt;a href=&quot;http://homepages.nyu.edu/~cch223/mainpage.html&quot;&gt;Killed From The Heart&lt;/a&gt;.

Some would say that this is better than the 7&quot;, but, if you&#39;ve been following this blog, you know that I disagree.  Not that it&#39;s bad, just not as good, in my humble opinion.  In fact &lt;strong&gt;Lost Cause&lt;/strong&gt; guitarist Scott Mitchell wrote, following my initial post, and agreed with my assessment...so there. (Perhaps because I was so complimentary of his guitar playing?)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, apparently there were 8 tracks in total recorded for the 7&quot;, which means there are 4 more floating out there that I&#39;d personally like to hear.  Next, he went on to tell a tale of the band having been managed at the time this LP was recorded by then Metallica manager, He-Who-Shall-Remain-Nameless, who then went on to die in a drug deal gone awry.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhoo....you&#39;ll be happy to know I did try to get him to cough up the 4 unreleased tracks.  At that point I was directed to contact the drummer, which proved fruitless as I couldn&#39;t find anything on him when &quot;googled&quot;.  There is, however, talk about a comprehensive re-release of all their stuff, so stay tuned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, I&#39;ll scan the cover and post it later.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lost Cause&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Forgotten Corners&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Lost Cause/Forgotten Corners/01 No Intro.mp3&quot;&gt;No Intro&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Lost Cause/Forgotten Corners/02 Can&#39;t Find Myself.mp3&quot;&gt;Can&#39;t Find Myself&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Lost Cause/Forgotten Corners/03 Misfit.mp3&quot;&gt;Misfit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Lost Cause/Forgotten Corners/04 Living In Hell.mp3&quot;&gt;Living In Hell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Lost Cause/Forgotten Corners/05 Don&#39;t Take a Chance.mp3&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t Take a Chance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Lost Cause/Forgotten Corners/06 Airport Religion.mp3&quot;&gt;Airport Religion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Lost Cause/Forgotten Corners/07 Firing Line.mp3&quot;&gt;Firing Line&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Lost Cause/Forgotten Corners/08 Constipated Rage.mp3&quot;&gt;Constipated Rage&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/114305767398364661/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=114305767398364661&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114305767398364661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/114305767398364661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/03/lost-cause-lp.html' title='Lost Cause LP'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12138623367190948121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114290825351237120</id><published>2006-03-20T12:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-20T22:07:57.173-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Breakouts &amp; No Alternative</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/breakouts2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/breakouts2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/breakouts1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/breakouts1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;1980 Accelerator Records&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Hi again, just got back into town and thought I better do double post to make up for the long gap since the last one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first is a follow up to the post I did of the Breakouts 12&quot; several weeks back.  One of our site visitors sent these two tracks to me complete with front and back cover scans.  Thanks again, you.  I&#39;ve gotta say, I really like the first track on this one.  I believe this was the bands second release out of three total.  One of these was up on eBay last week for $50 &lt;em&gt;Buy It Now &lt;/em&gt;but was snatched up almost immediately after being listed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Breakouts &lt;/strong&gt;- &lt;em&gt;All We Wanna Do&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Breakouts/All We Wanna Do.mp3&quot;&gt;All We Wanna Do&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Breakouts/Waiting For A Change.mp3&quot;&gt;Waiting For A Change&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/NA1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/NA1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/NA2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/NA2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;1981 Subterranean Records&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Next, is the &lt;strong&gt;No Alternative &lt;/strong&gt;7&quot; from 1981.

This one&#39;s for all you &lt;strong&gt;Rocket from the Crypt / Drive Like Jehu / Hot Snakes / John Reis&lt;/strong&gt; fans out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I&#39;m sure most of you know, prior to all of those bands was &lt;strong&gt;Pitchfork&lt;/strong&gt;.  If you aren&#39;t familiar with them, &lt;strong&gt;Pitchfork&lt;/strong&gt; was a great band out of San Diego started by John Reis. They released both a 7&quot; and LP on &lt;em&gt;Nemisis Records &lt;/em&gt;in the latter half of the 80s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This demo predates both of those and features not Rick Froberg, but Reis himself on vocals.  This being his first foray into singing, the voice here is not as strong as it would later become but the music more than makes up for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of the tracks here were ever released later on and show Pitchfork as they were originally conceived: a sometimes fast, melodic punk band in the vein of Dag Nasty and other D.C. area bands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I&#39;m just gonna start off with a couple today and see how it goes.  The sound isn&#39;t so hot being that it&#39;s an old cassette and, oh yeah, I don&#39;t remember any of the song titles.  That is all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pitchfork&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Demo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Pitchfork/Demo/01.mp3&quot;&gt;Demo Track 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://belasana.com/songs/Pitchfork/Demo/09.mp3&quot;&gt;Demo Track 9&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/feeds/113951793095006216/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21326952&amp;postID=113951793095006216&amp;isPopup=true' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/113951793095006216'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21326952/posts/default/113951793095006216'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anamericanpunkinsuburbia.blogspot.com/2006/03/pitchfork-demo.html' title='Pitchfork Demo'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12138623367190948121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21326952.post-114162236992870900</id><published>2006-03-05T20:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-06T09:55:15.293-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Breakouts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/1600/breakouts%20copy.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5744/2151/320/breakouts%20copy.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;1983 Accelerator Records&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Wow, I&#39;ve had this record forever and honestly, I don&#39;t think I ever listened to it &#39;til today.

Many of the acts were from the South Bay area of Los Angeles which, coincidentally, is where I grew up.  As with the later two editions, side one is a little more &quot;punk&quot; while side two is a bit more experimental and consequently, more, um, interesting?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny, how different things sound to you when you get a little &quot;older&quot;.  Can&#39;t say I listened to the second side much as a &quot;kid&quot;, but at the moment I&#39;m really liking it.  I&#39;ve gotta admit, all I was really interested in back then was &quot;speed&quot;...in my music, that is.  I&#39;m not sure how well these comps did outside of the LA area, but it seemed like just about everyone owned at least one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Ill Will &lt;/strong&gt;tracks are pretty ferocious and if memory serves, I used to have a demo of theirs.  Unfortunately, that&#39;s one I haven&#39;t been able to find.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, what&#39;s the deal with &lt;strong&gt;Red Cross&lt;/strong&gt;?  Is it me, or were they on just about every LA comp ever released?  I mean, we got this here one, &lt;em&gt;Life Is Boring&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Hell Comes to Your House&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Sudden Death&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Public Service&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;American Youth Report&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Rodney On The Roq vol. 2&lt;/em&gt;,...am I forgetting any?
