BARBED WIRE


WHOA!!! I don't know how this one slipped under the radar for so many years, but this 5 song slab from BARBED WIRE is a scorcher! Ferocious UK82 styled hardcore punk with a little touch of DISCHARGE (especially on "TV Drug"), and they deliver a killer cover of THE REZILLOS classic, a nod to their fellow Scots that sounds more like a hardcore tune than I ever knew it could. This is the final installment from the three band tape that also brought us THE DEAD and INTERNAL DIMENZIONS...if only there were more gems on the B side!
