LIFE SENTENCE


I don't remember LIFE SENTENCE being nearly as good as this live tape leads me to believe they were.  Blistering 80s USHC that cranks through 15 songs in half an hour while still managing to squeeze in plenty of banter, and they respond to the audience heckle of "Too Fucking Slow!!"  with a version of "Punks For Profit" that would have made RKL proud.  Recorded in Chicago in September 1984 , this set fucking rips. Get into it.

Good morning. What a wonderful gift to start my day. Life Sentence were always one of my absolute favorite bands to see live (if they weren't under the influence). Thanks for this. All the best.

Daniel>>>>I had you in mind as I was ripping this, glad it reached you so quickly. it's funny, I always thought of LIFE SENTENCE as a SxE band, though clearly I was incorrect!

gabe>>>>I already told you that yes, I have another ASC demo. we discussed it months back when I posted the ASC rehearsal tape. I've recently had knee surgery and sitting down to rip tapes is EXTREMELY painful, therefore I am only posting stuff I have already digitized. in other words: it's going to be a very long time before I will get to that tape.
