SHOCK TREATMENT


"Media Distortion" is a UK punk classic born just a few years too late. On their 1991 demo, SHOCK TREATMENT crank out 6 ripping studio tracks including the aforementioned burner - songs that would have the band's ST logo emblazoned on scores of punk vests decades later (even though the logo is pretty much the same as the logo for that band from Venice with the initials 'S' and 'T'). Maybe in 1991 punks didn't want searing and vaguely melodic UK punk with sharp vocals, but it's exactly what this punk wants in 2012. Nine minutes of live material follow the studio tracks, completing the package for the diehards amongst you...

A MAN OBSESSED WITH PORK!
