PLAIN WRAP! - Original Music For A Generic World LP (1985)

Had I not picked up that PLAIN WRAP/MOX NIX split CD last year, I may have flipped past this LP when I saw it in a local shop recently. Glad I didn't because it's a pretty fun album. What I like about it is that every track sounds different without being too all over the place, know what I mean? One gripe I have about punk and hardcore nowadays is the complete opposite. A lot of bands just put out releases where all the songs sound the same without any standouts. Not the case here. If you're into groups like WHITE FLAG, you probably already know about these guys.

AKA - Red Therapy EP (1980)

 

Quirky Vancouver No Wave/Art punk. Another one of those records I've seen kicking around local shops for years. Bio and family tree stolen from The Bloodied But Unbowed website.

"AKA formed in late '78 or early '79 and lasted until early 1981. Fronted by singer/saxophonist Dennis Mills, they released the Red Therapy 12-inch EP in 1980, and played in Seattle and San Francisco. In 1981, core bandmembers formed Rhythm Mission, who existed until 1989; their career overlapped with the Jazzmanian Devils, featuring Mills and company supporting various guest vocalists (including Vanessa Richards of Bolero Lava, and Madeline Morris of Moev and Family Plot)."

BLOODY HAMMER - Pogo Rock tape (2010)

 

Since I just posted their LP, may as well put up the demo since it's their only other release. Streetkids is the only one they didn't re-record for the album. It's also happens to be my favourite song of theirs.
