I saw these guys play in 87 at the Olympic with a bunch of my high school brothers. I can’t remember exactly with who but my crew was Deustche, Match, Enoch, and Ivan. This show headlined the English Dogs, along with the UK Subs, Youth Brigade and ARR openned. There may have been one or two more but I’ve already talked about how horrible my memory is. The English Dogs sucked I thought. The UK Subs were killer in that 70′s punk kinda way. I never saw a guy more covered in spit than the singer of that band. Whoever thought of spitting on bands while they play was an idiot. Youth Brigade was my favorite. They just all around rocked the whole show and about the only time there wasn’t fighting was during “Sink With California”. Non stop fights at this packed show and just about every “punk” gang in SoCal was represented. LADS, Suicidals, Circle One and several skinhead gangs. Funny thing about these gangs is that at this show they didn’t fight each other, they just did the old 5 on 1 to random people. Just like every gang ever, tough as hell when there’s ten of them but quiet as a mouse by themselves. This was the scene though at shows during this time. ARR from Arizona, openned and I just dug them so I got this tape for a couple of dollars. Your basic hardcore band very typical of the time. The sad thing was that after the show, when we got out to my bug, the stereo had been stolen, so we couldn’t listen to the tape on the way home. Give these guys a listen and maybe you’ll like a song or two.
MUSTARD RELICS
I cant believe I was at this show also.I remeber taking a break from one pit up high in the seats and seeing three seperate giant pit.Fucking beautiful. Are you sure it was 87 and not 86.I dug the olympic and fenders.MDC killed at fenders
Slam I can’t believe that either. Talk about a small world, I remember that show pretty well too. It’s too bad we didn’t meet in high school dude. The only reason I said 87 was because that’s when the demo tape came out but you were there for a lot of my brain cell killing days, so who knows. Thanx for always coming back bro.
Hey man, this is great, never heard about them, please, give me more like that, great and fast mid 80′s US hardcore… Thanks…
Vile76, unfortunately I don’t have a lot more demo type stuff. Maybe just a few you might be interested in. Be sure to check all the sites in my links. Thanx
Didna much care for Unite and was prepared for disappointment, but I really ended up liking Lives, Persecution, and You don’t make sense. The rest wasna too bad either.
