PERSONAL REGRETS

The tape gods dropped a mighty one on me last night - I was ripping this ABEYANCE set from 1985 and I see a faint 'PERSONAL REGRETS' scrawled on the back side of the tape. I feel like I've heard a track or two when digging into '80s Las Vegas punk....but was this an entire session? Yup. And if you're looking for under the radar raw and ferocious USHC then you're going to be just as chuffed today as I was last night. Ten songs in less than twenty minutes, with a sound that lands (appropriately) somewhere in the desert just beyond the reach of LA punk. File alongside SUBTERFUGE, PLAIN WRAP, SELF ABUSE, ABEYANCE and the lot...and thank the traders who came before you.
