colavision - joan of arcwelding (1993 mutant renegade / rinso)


This may be a stretch, but to me, 3/4 of this sounds sounds like Doc Corbin Dart from the Crucifucks singing for a slowed down Fat Day. Ah, the Midwest (Colavision were from Dayton, OH). The other 1/4 "Johnny Walks On The Right" sounds not like that at all, in fact sounds like a punk rock version of Cuts Like A Knife-era Bryan Adams. Weird. I fucking love the song "Ford".

And yeah, that's a custom made aluminum foil cover.

Rad stuff. You can read more about Colavison at I Remember Dayton (I ripped my own copy - didn't swipe theirs).

    I have this record! I can honestly say I haven't heard it in decades either. Great find!

    Mutant renegade was the label used by the Dayton, OH's Oxymorons...and I put the Oxy's on a comp record I did back in the day: http://subrec.com/records/piledriver/index.htm

    Thanks for posting, and thanks for including the link to the CD-quality version on my blog.

    The Bryan Adams comparison for "Johnny Walks on the Right" kind of hurt at first. But as I think more about it, it doesn't bother me so much -- and maybe it's even accurate. ;-) Still, it's one of my favorite songs I ever wrote, and I still play it sometimes at the occasional acoustic show.

    Thanks again for posting. I'm always glad to see Colavision pop up somewhere on the net.

    take care

    The Bryan Adams thing was surely not meant as a dig, it was actually a compliment. I non-ironically really like the first Bryan Adams record! It was anthemic, as I think Johnny Walks on the Right is.

    FORD is hands down one of the top 10 rock and roll songs to come out of Dayton OH.....period. I would squeeze it in between any of the singles by Brainiac, GBV, The Breeders, et al and have a hard time picking a superior cut. I consider myself fortunate to have picked up a secondhand copy....can't believe someone would let go of such a rare piece of vinyl
    treasure.
