Retrospective of SF hardcore band, 1982-84. Elements of so-cal Adolescents/Social D. styled rockin’ punk, but also “atypical” songs that venture into boring cock rock, attempting to be creative. Idealistic, if not quintessential 1982 naive cliché “intelligent” punk in-your-face lyrics (fuck war!). A pretty good archival document of a band that toured a lot, made a lot of bills. Earlier tracks are rougher, rawer, more hardcore. Later tracks are a good example of how many bands in that era went out of their way to “evolve” out of the “hardcore sound”, so afraid they were of being labeled “generic”, that they seemingly sacrificed whatever spunk and soul they had and ended up just sounding embarrassingly lame. Member of the band, Michael D. Fox, ran Subterranean Records, one of the best (local) record labels to have ever existed. FCC: 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 2) starts slow ballady, goes fast then mid, then “rockin”, political lyrics 3) heavy so.cal hardcore feel, melodic vocals 5) upbeat 2/4 hardcore 9) rockin so.cal feel 11) rumbling noise with spoken poem, mercifully brief 13) unlikely piano intro, 2/4 fast slow shift 14) upbeat rockin LA style 15) unlikely ballady lyrics, swingy bluesy non-hardcore feel 16) more atypical rock, changes 17) slight cowpunk feel 18) punky, watered down a bit 19) slower, almost butt-rock feel, oh dear lord this is like bad sammy hagar, complete with wanker bass 20) chorus pedaled bass, slight echoey dub feel 21) upbeat punky, good 22) chorused bass and guitar, starts like the Cure, really gross vocals, “epic”, is this a joke or just what SF does to bands? 23) oh boy, this is getting embarrassing 24) wow, bad cock rock sound 25) fancy studio effects of the day make this hiliraious, though I doubt that was the intent | ||
