Zero Boys - livin' in the 80s 7" - 2013 1-2-3-4 Go! Records GO-61
This one dates a little further back than the last post. 14 more years. So yes, this one was originally released in 1980 and is much more up my alley. I could listen to this kinda stuff all day. Well, not everyday obviously. Who can listen to the same thing all the time? But anyway.
Early hardcore punk is one of the things I listen to most and this is a mighty fine specimen of that genre. Still more on the punk side yet sporting the ferocity of hardcore already. Not quite this, not quite that. It's somewhat in the middle and that's what makes it stand out. I can't think of many other bands sounding like them. But I guess that was true for a lot of bands in the 1980 punk scene. Sure, these days there are a lot of bands trying to cop that style. Most of them fail miserably though. I have an idea why that is but I'm not telling. Just listen to this and cry at the thought that your crappy band will never be as good.
