The Krays / The Truents - Oi! What Happened To Punk? (1996)

The mid nineties were a great time to get into punk.  NYC was the place to be.  I was probably 13-14 when this record came out but I bought it off one of the band members at Coney Island High and a forty oz of Midnight Dragon leaked all over it in my friends back pack. Needless to say 15 years later its still sees action on my record player because its a great record.  Two records actually.  Two tracks from each band and a successful joint effort in a Sham 69 cover.  This was, to the best of my knowledge, both bands first appearances on vinyl. Both bands are still active today, at some point the Truents became Suspect Device.  The Krays have since had 4 albums and have toured the world extensively. INTENSIVE SCARE RECORDS 1996.
