Archival reissue of early Houston punk band. Interesting document of their evolution, spanning early accessible power pop post punk ‘79 sounds a la Stranglers, Gang of Four, then the white boy punk funk a la Minutemen that fellow Texans The Big Boys really perfected (and Red Hot Chili Peppers ripped off blind) to industrial noise. Toward end they were on bills with Culturcide, delving deeply into noise apparently. Fans of Gang of Four, Mission of Burma, No Means No alike will like. Really Red. Really great band. 1) FCCs safe harbor typical punk 2)* (1:42) galloping gutteral good 3) (1:06) somewhat thrashy 4)* (3:15) title track: mid paced, less punk, more Chicago rock, really good hit quality 5) (2:15) crunchy halting 6) (1:18) 7) (2:58) no culture Houston, funk seeping in now 8) (0:45) 2/4 punky brief 9)* (2:19) "I don't need to be reborn again" awesome commentary on religion 10) (2:43) almost sensitive sappy 11) FCC 12) (1:21) urgent punky 13) (2:30) almost poppy reminds me of Gang of Four 14) FCCs late too bad 15) (1:19) driving punky goodness, early LA hardcore feel 16) FCC 17) (1:34) more early hardcore goodness, like shattered faith, tsol 18)* (3:21) here's where the Minutemen funk kicks in 19) (4:02) big noise bash out to start then picks up 20)* (3:00) rock riff to start, then good proto hc 21) (1:24) driving hardcore 22) (1:30) also driving hardcore 23)* (2:50) spoof on patriotism, jingoism, with samples, people sounds in intro and bridges, fast slow 24) (1:50) more 25) (3:53) yes! Live sick dirgey shit not "punk", art noise? 26)* (2:11) cool rockin and hc parts 27) (5:48) tribal and cool, more like Siouxsie or Killing Joke with chorused guitar CD 2 demos and live recordings Verry 1979 punk 1) (1:57) lower fi, punky 2) (2:39) Demo of above "I don't need to be reborn again" 3) (2:18) '79 punky 4) (2:15) poppy vocals, crunchy power pop 5)* (2:36) ironic cover of 60's pop hit "downtown" 6) (1:57) more good power pop 7) (1:48) noisey guitar, pounding, live production 8) FCCs 9) FCCs 10) (2:03) getting more urgent in the punk tone 11) FCCs 12) (0:33) brief punky blast 13) (3:58) live - enter synth noise and a joy division beat as the band begins to take an industrial tone 14) FCC 15) (2:23) joy div tone continues with driving fuzzy bass, nice 16) (2:46) live version of " minutemen" track above 17) (19:33) FCCs unfortunately: industrial noise, power tools, totally organic, wondering if Culturcide was involved because the looping sounds familiar- play in safe harbor, several tracks strung together seemingly | ||
