NEW IN

 Breeders "Zen Punk" £7.00

This is the original Breeders, formed in Champaign, IL, in the early-eighties by Ted Purves on bass and vocals, Andrew Van Dusen on guitar and Jonno Peltz on drums. They released a 7" EP titled "Zen Punk" and an eight song cassette titled "Things Happen". In 1984 they added a second guitarist Glenn Graham to the line-up, the group disbanded in the following year when Andrew moved to NYC and Ted left for grad school in Ohio.

This is a little hidden gem of Midwestern punk. Three songs, remastered for the occasion. A side is an elaborate song between Punk Rock and No Wave, that brings in mind bands like Gang of Four, Contortions, Wire,... On the flip side, two miniatures on the verge of hardcore. Think early Husker Du, Minor Threat and White Cross. Comes with the original artwork!

 

 

SOLD OUT - Rejectors "Thoughts Of War" £7.00

 Seminal hardcore punk from Seattle, Washington, active approx. 1981-1986. The Rejectors released a 9 song 7" called "Thoughts Of War" on Fartz records in '82, then the 5-song "Struggle" tape in '83, and then a split with The Accused on Fatal Erection records, also in '83, to which they contributed 13 songs. With The Accused they shared the stage on numerous occasions and in the early stages of both bands they were almost inseparable. Less sludgy than some of their Seattle punk peers, instead providing quick-paced west coast style thrashers with snotty teenage vocals and earnest, often politically-minded lyrics.

This is the reissue of their first work, the 9 song 7" called Thoughts Of War from 1982. Remastered for the occasion, the 7" comes with the original 7" artwork and insert.
