Bad Taste-I Was A Teenaged Jack The Ripper 7"

This record was actually quite a surprise, Bad Taste have been playing snot nosed punk for quite some time now and i have actually had the pleasure of seeing them live but i was expecting this(their 7" debut) to be a little more sloppy and have more of a "we don't give a shit attitude" alla Critical Picnic. Critical Picnic was a complete joke though, this record is actually good. Using inspiration from early 80's punk on both coasts and an old(but not shitty) sounding recording Bad Taste deliver a record that actually stands out amongst others trying to do the same. At times there is even a harshness to the vocals and music that leaves just a hint of 90's Clevo hardcore(well just Gordon Solie Motherfuckers but who cares)inspiration.

Released by Feral Kid Records, don't sleep.

Raw Nerve-S/T LP

An a-side full of no bullshit relentless hardcore, pounding drums, cutting guitars, grinding bass, and distant/distorted vocals. Whatever this band had in their arsenal they unleashed here. The B-side holds quite a secret that calls for closer inspection. No comparisons just blistering fast hardcore. A brief and blunt review to match a brief and blunt record.

Youth Attack! records. Sold out.
