Quincy Punx - Stuck On Stupid 10" (1996)



This was my introduction to the Quincy Punx on RECESS RECORDS. Boy do I remember getting yelled at every time I turned this one up. If you take the time and listen to the lyrics in Malicious Mischief, you'll understand where these guys stood on many pressing issues. I feel this record really captivates the bands 'essence'. Songs about drinking, killing, partying, toilet slaves, GG Allins freeze dried body, etc. All topped off with a POISON IDEA cover! Not bad at all!

Banner Of Hope - Waiting At The Barricades 7" (1994)


This is a special treat from lovely Linden, NJ. The first BANNER OF HOPE single on OBNOXIOUS RECORDS. Probably their own label. These tracks feature the band with their first of three singers, Neal. Neal was later replaced with a series of girls and put out a further 7" (Carry On Chaos 1997) and CD (Behind A... 1998). Always a pleasure to see live. Toured with FUNERAL DRESS in 1998 and faded out by 2000. The drummer, Matt, was the nicest guy. I remember my friend from town got to play guitar in the band later on and we would go to Matts house to hang out. He'd play records and let us drink beer. He was killed in a motorcycle accident a few years later but is fondly remembered by all that knew him. As a BONUS! I also included the two tracks that appeared on the POGO ATTACK! Compilation.

The Glory Stompers - S/T 7" (1993)


The first GLORY STOMPERS 7"...... I mean double 7". Disturbance Records. Canadian pogo punk in its rawest form. Plenty of fuzzed out guitars, pounding drums and snotty male/female vocals. All I know about this band is they seemed to shuffle members a lot. Their first few records, most notably the ABANDONED YOUTH LP were indeed totally punk-as-fuck. Later they apparently got jobs, shaved their heads, and became a three piece. What followed was a split with THE TEMPLARS, and a second LP, both on the German label KNOCKOUT. I will post more from these guys some day...
