ANTI-STATE CONTROL


Brilliant 1983 demo from these under appreciated UK punks. I posted a 1982 rehearsal tape in the early days of The Escape, but it's great hearing this primitive UK punk given the proper treatment. "Sniffing Glue Blues," "Muse," "Nobody Cares About Us" and other songs from that practice tape all sound beyond stellar on this searing demo, with nine more rehearsal tunes as a bonus. Chalk this up as a brilliant second wave band lost in the shuffle, and one who sadly never made it to wax. Fukkn great tunes, with ADAM ANT and DISCHARGE covers for those keeping track.

Sweet post.
I wrote an email to you a couple of weeks ago about an AOA anecdote. Actually I have started a music blog that I think you might enjoy. It's mostly a tape and EP centered blog focused on obscure and marginally heard British crust and anarchopunk. It's called Terminal Sound Nuisance. Let me know what you think anyway.
Cheers
