CD-R limited to about 80 copies. This was the first recording from philly's Virus, who distributed the CD widely on AOL's "punk chat" circuit. Initial Virus lineup had guys from Bomb Squadron and US Expulsion (demo wanted). Two songs, decent enough, but primarily lends a strong hint at what was to follow. Now on to the MANIX from Long Island. Active for maybe all of 2 years in the late 90's; Manix were fronted by this jacked up dude named Stuart who I have fond memories of buying me and my friends forty ounces of Midnight Dragon whenever we'd see him down on St Marks place. It should also be noted here that Stuart was a great dancer and always owned the circle pit every time he entered. Manix offer up some nice early So Cal inspired punk and leave us wanting more, wondering what could have been. The band broke up a little while after this release and members went on to other bands The Casualties and Devotchkas. I used to see Stuart at gigs for the next ten years until I heard he suffered a massive heart attack and unfortunately passed away. NEVER FORGET BIG STU! Cheers !
