First generation hardcore punk 1983 from Tucson Arizona, recorded live. Unique in that its fronted by a woman vocalist/songwriter who was Japanese American (many lyrics sung in Japanese). Quality is so-so, but still captures the live feel for a genre that was never meant for the studio. This is a recording made when the band opened for Husker Du, at Tucson’s Backstage. 1) soundcheck 2) upbeat 2/4 3) slow/fast rockin/hardcore, “blank books” about censorship 4) poppy, about sending gifts to troops in Vietnam 5) intro banter with audience, makes reference to Tylenol killings for you historians, song about alcohol 6) chorus sung in Japanese, about Japanese stereotypes, racism “do I walk on backs? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!” 7) more poppier stuff, rockin and fun, nice line in “bloodclot faggots youre fighting depression cuz youre insignificant”, FCCs but indecipherable 8) 2/4 hardcore 9) swingier rocking, “give us back our right to choose, give me back my right to die”, about abortion rights 10) 2/4 smoking fast HxCx, chorus in japanese 11) 2/4 upbeat 12) intro to next song, play with next song: 13) cover of Black Sabbath’s “black sabbath”, an ironic cover before there were “ironic covers” 14) smokin’ 2/4, watch FCC at very end in audience banter 15) poppier feel a bit 16) 2/4 smokin 17) more 2/4 18) riffy and different, especially for the time, about “coyotes” killing imigrants 19) smoking fast/slow, about an unsolved brutal murder in Tucson 20) doomy, tribal tom tom beat, kicks into thrash then back again 21) weird use of flanger, with fucked up start, had to do a “take two” | ||
