SOCIAL UNREST

 All hail tape traders, right? Then, now and always.....the things I (continue to) unearth still make me giddy like a teenager who just realized he could order punk records through the mail and have them delivered to his house in Ponca City, Oklahoma (it was a good feeling). Last week, I stumbled upon this SOCIAL UNREST demo buried in the middle of the second side of a tape that featured two snarky sets from THE ROTTERS, a few tracks from SCREAMERS recorded at The Mab in '78 and a ZEROS demo session....and I like to think that somewhere there was a tape maker and trader thinking "The Wizard gonna be real real psyched when he cranks this shit up in thirty years." That tape trader and maker was absolutely correct - Hayward, California's finest export bashing out five shots of stripped down animated punk, Making Room For Youth era from the sound of it. More punk, please and thank you. More tapes please and thank you.
