Yup, I played the hell out of the first 4 albums in the 80s - Car, Scratch, Melt, Security. Also like So and Us a lot too. I saw Pete at the Human Rights Now show at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in 1988 and still have the t-shirt from that show.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Yeah, I guess the label figured there was some commercial potential. No idea how the records actually sold here though. His German takes some getting used to.Marky Dread wrote: ↑09 Apr 2021, 1:36pm“I wrote to the French, Italian, German and Spanish labels, saying I wanted to experiment creating a version of my album in another language,” Gabriel said. “The only label to show any interest was the German, hence the choice.” In true Gabriel fashion, simply removing his vocals from the existing records and singing a translated version was not enough. “It also gave me a chance to try new mixing and remixing approaches, with some new overdubs.” These new versions were, especially on Security, at times, radically diverse.Olaf wrote: ↑09 Apr 2021, 12:38pmNot so odd considering the New German Wave was in full bloom around that time.RockNRollWhore wrote: ↑08 Apr 2021, 4:00pmI’m a little confused though.

I love it when Flex lets us know he lost a stupid bar bet.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Punk's Dead, You're Next by Slapshot comes pretty close:
You want to worship Wattie that not the way to be
You think your looks don't matter well we'll just wait and see
You'll end up like the other's all fucked up or dead
Taking shit from people or get kicked in the head

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Are these guys related to RX Bandits in any way? Their singer sounds like my memory of the singer from that band (my memory could be quite erroneous).

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Doubt it. They’re Louisiana based and I think they’re all younger than would be feasible. They’re all from different bands, but I didn’t see RX Bandits listed.
