DEAD BUT STILL KICKING

 

A time capsule of unknowns, 1991's Dead But Still Kicking crams a dozen of your new favorite bands into one hour of beer soaked punk and hardcore. Detroit's SCRUFFY TEARAWAYS open the comp with two sinister crossover rippers and THE VACANT follow up with shrill UK influenced punk, good enough that you stick around for TATTOOED CORPSE and VOODOO LOVE GODS dropping by with their distinct brands of sleazy bar punk. Primitive crossover from BLINDED DESTINY, roughshod melodic punk from THIRSTY, then GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE, ZOMBIE TERRORISTS, X WOOLHEAD, COMMONWEALTH and A.D. plow through the second side before SHARK FETISH bash out a harmonica drenched garage hardcore stomp to close the tape. Bands are from Portland, Germany, Maryland, Michigan and parts unknown - I might have been familiar with two of the twelve before I popped this plastic wonder in the deck....and comps still rule.
