THE BAR FEEDERS

 


Remember a couple of weekends ago when I posted the first BAR FEEDERS tape? Well, the day that I snagged that tape, I also picked up this tape - which I assumed (incorrectly) was just a hastily scrapped together "our tapes aren't ready and we've got a gig coming on Sushi Sunday" self released version of Scotto El Blotto.....but I popped it in to have a blast just in case. Nope! Several of the same songs ("Pissed Off," "Socioapathetic," "Half Assed" and others) with a grip of tracks that I recognize from the shows thirty years ago but I can't quite name, but everything here is faster and the recording is raw and urgent in the best fukkn way. A solid hour of SF punk, so brace yourself....this is the perfect companion to the "proper" release and it almost feels better listening to the two recordings in reverse - that one is where they ended up but this one is how they got there.
