on a request from Chris, who is one half of
MOSH EISLEY, you can get the 1st
SMASH THE STATE comp. 12" here. this comp. was released by
NO EXIT records and was the follow up to a Canadian
PUNK discography book with the same title. it's the re-issue of 6 old (read: unable to get without being very lucky or robbing a bank) Canadian
PUNKROCK 7"es. I haven't played this record for I don't know how many years and when I ripped it for Chris I wasn't really excited by any of the bands. it's not really bad but it's way too much
ROCK(
'N'ROLL) for me. most of you probably haven't even heard the names of
ARSON, THE FITS, HOT NASTIES, ROCK'N'ROLL BITCHES, DRY HEAVES or
STURGEONS neither did I, with the exception of
THE FITS, before this comp. was released. if '77
PUNKROCK with a little bit of
ROCK'N'ROLL is yours than you might ejoy this comp. more than I do! as you might have guessed from the title there's a vol. II (maybe even a vol. III) which might follow...
