Reviews

  • Dispatess
    There are tons of amazing 80s punk releases out there and this is one of those releases that instantly comes to mind for me. In of sound, Agent Orange is upbeat and dance-worthy, but they fill the lyrics with existential doom and gloom. There’s something so cinematic about these little motifs of songs, except maybe Miserlou, a rockin’ instrumental cover. This is the only true “fun” track on here, but this is all perfect to turn on in the car. It’s a condensed package clocking in at only a measly 19 minutes. Good chance you could hear it during your commute.

      Bloodstains is a killer song…( seeing them at the Cuckoos Nest with TSOL)…However, I prefer the version on ROTR comp.

        I have a copy with the second press matrix but with the yellow labels.

          The copy I have has the same label on both sides. PBS 122-B. Must have been skater labor putting on the labels in 1981.
