The Showcase Showdown / The Twerps 8" [1997 702 Records]


 

I shouldn't have to say anything about this, right? 2 great bands, 1 great label. It sells itself.

Ten Bright Spikes - Vertical Brando 10" [1991 New Red Archives]


If I told you that members of Social Unrest and the UK Subs put together a band called Ten Bright Spikes, there's very little chance you'd think this would be the result. But put that all aside and judge this on its own merits. It's indie/alternative, done very well, and I like it. But none of these songs is as good as "La Mancha Candidate" from a different 1991 10". That song should have been huge. 

Astro Stukas and Blueland are available streaming on most platforms, but I don't see this 10" anywhere.

Contents Under Pressure Comp 7" [1998 Rotten House Records]

Straight ahead punk with some '77/snot influence from The Syphilitics (OH), The Piss Shivers (PA), Just A Product (Bulgaria), and The Fux (PA). I like everything on here, I love the Just A Product track.
