COMMENT S
It's always puzzled me how alot o f people within the local hardcore scene (bet yo u didn't know we had one?) will slag anything tha t doesn't fit their idea of music (i .e . loud and fast) . Forget about Joy Division or the Fir e Engines, if it ain't hardcore it's not worth it . By the same token supposidly open minded fan s of "other" music tend to regard hardcore musi c as something that ended with the Sex Pistols . "It all sounds the same" or "it's all just a rehash of 77" are comments frequently heard . I don't understand either of thes e attitudes . Sure, I'm probably making some poo r generalizations but these attitudes do persis t all over . How much new generation punk have yo u seen in the pages of Trouser Press or NY Rocke r recently? OR . . . when's the last time you've read something about 1/2 Japanese in one of you r friendly local punk zines ? For myself what I listen to depends on my mood, the time of day, the weather outside , etc . It's not a matter of choosing sides Black Flag or Orange Juice? I like both bands . . . thank you . I do know that I would get prett y bored if I could only listen to one kind of music . The important thing in music should be humam emotion and feeling . This covers alot o f areas although it does exclude all those awfu l syntho- pop bands (the Human League, Spandau , Visage--bleech!!!) . All I'm saying is be open , don't be so quick to put someone down becaus e they have different musical tastes . Also don' t always worry about what you're friends ma y think . . . . you've got your own mind . You migh t be suprised how much you've been missing . Now it's time for me to leave m y soapbox so I'll wrap things up quickly . I hope you enjoy this issue, there's a good variety of things this time . In case anyone ha s noticed we've been coming out pretty regula r (every two months) . It may nayt s : ., und like much but it's alot of work . . . . just the typing alone (I'm almost up to two fingers now) . Anywa y the point is that we're going to take a short vacation so the next one will be a little lat e in getting out . We are not folding, we wil l continue . . . it will be worth the wait . P .S . I've been considering putting out a compilation cassette of Florida bands . . . i f anyone has some money they would like to inves t in this worthy project please get in touc h with me . More later . P .P .S . Just saw the new NYR Bad Br .sins & Blac k Flag on the cover . . . oh well .

To whom it may concern : Here's a letter that I'd hoped I'd never have to write . Las t nite one punk got into a serious argument with another for a very mino r reason and some punks seriously considered beating up someone else tha t they didn't like . Last night gangs of unprovoked long haired asshole s insulted, salt on and hit punk girls and attacked a few of the girls an d attacked a few of the guys . These gangs outnumbered the small groups they attacked by 3 or 4 to 1 . Last nite for no real reason, some punk s got permanetly kicked out of a restaurant that's been a favorite late nit e hangout for months . The cops came in just as we were leaving, called u s names, threatened us, and told us how much they hated punks . These were jus t a few of the things that happened last nite . Now to someone in LA or NYC this night not seem like much but S . Fla . has always been different . A s far as the long hairs go there has been a rather sudden change . Up unti l recently they would at best come up and ask "whets this punk shit all a bout?" and at worst they would yell (god forbid) "Devo" . Now at best the y yell "Fucking Punks :" and at worst a few of the assholes will sneak up be hind a punk and hit him or her on the head(like last nite) . I'm not sure why this change occured but I think it has something to do with the medi a coverage . Now for the cops . Before last nite the worst time with the police was at the Premier a few years ago . They never did anything more tha n argue with the owner . The only other times was when the cops shut down th e Eat at the Open gig for the lack of a permit and when the Throbs(RIP) played the Caribbean Music Festival in front of 1500 people and the cops pulle d the plug on us after just 15 minutes because of some comments about a preshor hassle .I've already said what the cops did last, nite and that leads u s to 3 thoushts first- Why? I still can't figure out why they were such ass holes last nite but Rage told one of them that he took CHIPS too seriously . She just might be right . Second- where will this lead? Are these cops goin g to spread the word that punks are easy targets? Could be . And Third- wha t can we do? Well except for shouting a few carefully chosen words the answe r is nothing . We just have to live with it . What all this (the fights, hippies , & cops) can cause is a numbness in the scene . It's anumbness that seem s apparent in LA and the effect can be an increase in the apathy that alread y abounds . It can also be a major distraction, there are bands everywher e that sing about fights and cops instead of Reagan, large scall oppression , and other important things . I would rather be writing about the world political situation but I'm writing this instead . What it all comes down t o is that last nite some very strong shock waves rocked our humble scen e that could cause it to eventually fall apart or they could bring us al l closer together and with the help of all the new hardcore kids and skins , many of whom are starting bands, we could not only possibly survive bu t possibly flourish . I'm sure you noticed that I used the word punk severa l times in this letter . I am opposed to labels of any kind but punks are wha t the media and therefore the world calls us and in this case it's r3gretfull y us against them . That's why I hope there's no more of this punk agains t punk fighting, because of all the things I've mentioned, that's the onl y thing that we have any control over . As the once great Jimmy Pursey sai d "If the kids are united they will never be divided" and that still hold s true for us . There may not be much we can do about the hippies and the cop s but we must not let them destroy us . Thoughtfully , David Camp N ., Miami, Fl . (David, I agree with most of what you're saying, you've made some vali d points . The main problem to me is that people are often just not very tole rant of others and anyone that doesn't fit the "norm" becomes an easy tar get . Rather than try to understand something it becomes easier to attack it . This works both ways and I've certainly met a number of"punks" who are jus t as guilty of this type of thinking . . . anyone else care to respond? -Ed . ) 4)

All through 1981 I kept waiting for an album that would really turn me on . The 1979 Crawdaddys LP I found in Febuary was real goo d and a couple of cuts from random albums were real interesting ("Prett y in Pink" and "Shadowline") but nothing that would hold real deep downuntil the Gun Club album . Rip, pig , and panic is a good description o f what these guys do to country blues . The Gun Club LP is dangerous , threatening, and strung throughout with high sexual tension . And death . Just what H&R needs today. Get it or eat shit . Ted Gotfriee and I drove to Atlanta last February to see th e Gun Club at the 688 club. Freezing rain turned McDonalds ans souther n pine alike into icicles . Beautiful . Ted spotted the Gun Clubbers at Wa x and Facts record store and we chatted . Nice guys, "sure we'll do an interview, come to the sound check at six." Interviewed at sound check , motel and before the show . One word about the show . They played the majority of their up coming second album as a demo for their new producer see below) an d the songs are even greater than the first LP's! Jeffrey Lee Pierce i s the Gun Club's singer/songwriter . Guitarist Ward Dotson, bass playe r Rob Ritter, and drummer Terry Graham were out to dinner and came bac k later in the interview .

THE GUN CLUB

BY CHARLIE PICKETT C .P . : You've been playing guitar how long now ? T : About 7 years now, the last two finger picking . Z' What's your favorite open tunings ? JLP : A and D . Also we play in E cuz it's a stronger tuning and Spanis h Jtuning but I broke a lot of strings in it . OP : Didn't you write for Slash ? JLP : Everybody in L.A . wrote for Slash . Even Johnny and Exene wrote fo r it . It was just a big local thing and everyone contributed . They didn' t pay but I got in a lot of shows free, saved a lot of money going ou t got records free . I was in bands before I wrote for Slash so it wasn' t a journalist turns singer thing . CP : Who did you play for ? JLP : I've been in bands since high school, Fast Freddie's Group, th e Precisions, Top Jimmie's band, the Last- mostly as guitar player. This is the first band I've not played guitar in, just singing . I have no desire to get up on stage and prove my virtuosity. I'd rather not pla y live, though we're thinking of adding another guitar player when we ge t back to L .A ., probably a girl to offset things . CP : How long has the Gun Club been together? JLP : Less than 2 years, about a year and a half . CP : Let's go back to the things with Slash . Would you say that Slash was a force in bringing about a certain amount of excitement in the L .A . scene? Was it healthy for the scene ? JLP : Yeah, it had a way of rounding up everything. It was a way of be coming aware of what was happening in another part of town with new bands, etc . But it's all broken up into factions . CP : Into what faction does the Gun Club fall? Do the Hunnington Beac h punks go after it ? JLP : No Hunnington Beach punks is one scene I've completly turned my back on . The R&B scene- that's another scene I've completly turned my back on . CP : Why is that? JLP : Cause it's too much of a virtuosity thing . . . too much of a sixtie s attitude towards R&B . . . to try to see who can play the blues the best . That's not the point . (To play the blues the best) has never been the

point . The point of the blues is getting involved in the whole attitud e and the mood and the feeling and the expression of the thing . Not ho w well you can play John Lee Hooker's guitar lick, but to play John Iipyge d Hooker's guitar lick with the same conviction and reason that h e p it . Young people like Robert Johnson where as I think Tommy Johnson's a much better blues writer . But he was older and went through so muc h more and saw things differently . He was more like an Elliot a oyose d to a Rimbaud . I mean everybody loves that Rimbaud shit cuz it's all so youthful . I actually think of that stuff as just being adolescen t writing . The better writers are the older one's . They just see thing s more clearly and more clearly and more competantly . CP : You partially covered the British blues of the sixties . Does any thing from that era impress you ? JLP : There were people who were inovative . You can't say Jeff Beck wa s a derivative guitar player cuz he took all he learned from blues re cords and completly blew it out of proportion, did all kinds of weir d stuff with it thats wonderful . You can say a guy like Mick Taylor i s derivative cuz he never added anything to it . It's like the rockabill y thing today . They are such fanatical fans that it's outragous to the m to change anything about it . Blues is awonderful, pure, 100% true mu sic, and it's easy to get sucked up into it that it becomes a way o f life for you . Some people in L .A . if they were. to bedwith Marilyn Monroe , it wouldn't be as important to them as finding a Son House 78 on Para mount (laughs),I'd rather go to bed with Marilyn Monroe . CP : You mention Marilyn Monroe in songs and conversation who else do yo u admire ? JLP : Marilyn Monroe, Rimbaud, T .S . Elliot . . . all that poetry stuff, the y badge you to talk about it in New York . I like British literature : D .H . Lawrence, James Joyce it's just so psychedelic . I don't understand a lo t of it . Samuel Becket . CP : Let me needle you a little bit . You follow the American folk art ist, the blues and then go European for your literature . JLP : Just British . No French, German . I like American literature . CP : But it's not as close to your heart ? -LP : No it's just not as much fun . It's probably closer to my heart . J Especially someone like Sherwood Anderson . American literature is afte r too frightening to Americans . It's usually the same type of thing as the blues ; alcohol, death, fustrated sex, more death, being mad , lost, lonesome, cryin' . . . . CP : What about the next Gun Club album?

y interview with U2 (set up through the kind Chris of Island Records) was to b e at UPM at the Holiday Inn in West Palm Beach . I got there at )PM, hoping I wasn't late . No U2 . They arrived about twenty minutes later . Adam ;Clayton, bass player) and Bon o (singer) wearily walked into the lobby and slumped into chairs . The Edge (guitar player ) and Larry (drummer) headed straight for the video games that were stuck in a corner glas s room . "Hey, have you got a quarter?" Edge called to Adam who was buried in a newspaper . I quickly dug into my pants pocket and pulled out two quarters . "Would you like to play a game?" I asked . Edge had already started a game (he had had a quarter after all), bu t was flubbing it bad . The problem? No sound! I introduced myself and immersion int o U2's world began . Edge's and Larry's faces lit up and we shook hands . They'd be gla d to talk to me, just give them a few minutes to get settled in their rooms . I gave the m several copies of Suburban Relapse to read later . Bono walked up and we met . With brigh t clear blue eyes, a frank direct gaze, and a sturdy handshake, Bono smiled and agreed t o do an interview . "Talk to Barry to set a time . Is there a swimming pool here?" he asked . A dark haired, slim man whoosed by us to the desk . Gathering keys, he turned and disperse d them to the band . This then must be Barry Mead, tour manager . He certainly seeme d official enough! "Oh yes, Chris did mention you to me ." Barry's eyes were hidden by dar k glasses, but he smiled encouragingly . "Sit tight, someone will come get you . Call i f it's been too long a wait ." He left, following the band to their rooms . In about te n minutes Adam came sauntering into the lobby . "Come on then . Let's go get dinner and talk . We'll join the others later ." He motioned with his head toward the dining room . I grabbed my bag, paper, pen, and tape recorder and hurried after him . We sat down to a red tableclothed booth and ordered dinner . "I'll take the Englis h cut of roast beef," Adam ordered . ("What was English about it?" Edge asked later . "I t was the worst cut!" Adam snorted .) "And I'll have the dolphin," said I . "Dolphin!? " Adam seemed surprised . "That sounds interesting . I'll have a bite!" So between bites , we talked . Adam, with his blond curly hair and blazing smile, was the picture of charm . With a few disarming words, he put me completely at ease . I asked him why U2 were openin g for J . Geils, an odd match many people had wondered about . He explained that U2 didn' t open for anyone, as a rule, but since Peter Wolf had personally asked them, they decide d to try it out . They had to reschedule their tour to fit J . Geils' dates (which is why their Feb . 2nd show at the Agora was canceled .) Adam explained that a big fear openin g bands have is that they'll have no control of their stage setup and, most importantly , their sound . They had talked this over with the J . Geils band and were assured the y would have full control . After one gig (Ft . Myers) with J . Geils, Adam seemed pleased with how things were going . We discussed how lousy radio in general was . After I explained I co-operated a record store, Adam was keenly interested in finding out i f radio people checked with us for the top selling albums . I told him we reported to Rock pool in New Tork City and that local radio people thought we were too small to talk to . I asked him about his music ; what kind of bass he used . "I use the same kind as Sting's , hut without all the fancy gadgets . I like to play with Larry, echoing and supporting hi s bass drum . We're a unit ." 1'TV (music Television) popped up in a discussion of alternativ e ways to get music across to people . "MTV opened Texas up to us . People saw the "Gloric n and "I Will Follow" videos and discovered there was more to music than what was on their

radios!" Adam explained . The Edge joined us for dessert . He ordered cherry cheesecak e (a passion of his) and hot tea . As he took his first bite, Barry bustled up and exclaimed , "There you are! We've been waiting for fifteen minutes on the bus! I thought I asked yo u to tell Adam we were ready for soundcheck!" Adam and I looked at each other . "But h e didn't say a thing!" Edge, looking as innocent as an angel, savored his cheesecake . "Come on now," Barry pleaded . Coffee and tea were gulped down and cheesecake inhaled i n two bites . "Can I ride with you to the sound check?" I asked . "Don't see why not," Barry answered . Off we hurried to the bus, which was already running . As we scrambled up int o the bus and headed for the back room, the bus lurched foreward . Giggling and breathless, we slid onto the couches . Edge, Bono, and Adam sat on one side . Paul McGuinness, U2's manager, sat to my left and Larry sat to my right . Foolin g with the light bulbs around a mirror, Larry was rather shy . I asked him if he had see n any of the Mardi Gras when they played New Orleans at the end of February . He said no , it had started after they left . Bono and I discussed current records : Delta Five, Fa d Gadget, Au Pairs, O .J ., Virgin Prunes . "Edge's brother is the guitarist for the Prunes, "

Bono offered . "They're working on a seven part musical work ." I asked him if he ha d gone swimming . "No, the sun went in," he sighed . As we drove up to the West Palm Beach Auditorium, Larry pointed out the window a t the marquee . "Look! It's sold out!" The parking lots were packed and people were headin g to the entrance . The bus came to a stop behind the auditorium and all but Bono and I scattered . I asked if we could start the "official" interview and if I could use my tap e recorder . "Oh, sure! Make yourself at home!" Bono said generously . Bono stretched hi s legs out on the couch and with his dark leather hat cocked on his head he looked quite the Irish rogue . He was relaxed, quiet, and attentive . Leslie : Why are you opening for the J . Geils band ? Bono : Because . . .What we thought was this . We don't believe in opening up for anyone ! We never have and suddenly, just instinctively we thought this is going to be a challenge . We don't want to be elitist in any way, don't want to be hiding away i n these circles cuz we don't see ourselves like that . I think our music should be o n the radio all over . I think that's the type of band U2 are . The people aren' t going to know us or understand what we're doing . . .so we'll see what it's like whe n we play to people who are into RACK'n'ROLL . Leslie : RACK'n'ROLL??? Is that just an accent or . . . ? Bono : Tou American people tend to call it RACK'n'ROLL, the money end of rock and roll . There's a lot of people who are just into the current album, whatever, and I thin k it would be interesting . . .I mean we don't know what's going to happen . We don' t know if they're gonna bottle us . We don't know if they're gonna like us . I believ e that they should like us . I believe our music is communicative, it's positivel y communicative . It makes people feel better . It makes me feel good singing . It' s an experiment for us and if it means that a lot of other people get to hear abou t us that wouldn't have . . .well then it makes me happy . Peter Wolf asked for the ban d himself . He'd been asking for the band for awhile and we thought, well if he wants it,well then we need to go where people want us to be . Leslie : Do you feel like you've gotten a lot of airplay on the radio ? Bono : No, not enough . Leslie : I know down in Ft . Lauderdale the major rock stations play "Gloria" and "I Wil l Follow" and that's it . Bono : Well, we get more airplay in Florida than we do in a lot of states . I know some people in sorts quite tightly programmed stations who've played things like "I Fall Down" and that impresses me . There are people down here in radio who are more on the case than up north . I'm quite serious . Look! I was listening to an MOR statio n down here . . .Tom Tom Club . . .This is a good place this Florida for music . Really ! Leslie : We feel like we're banging our heads against the wall ! Bono : No! Look! Radio will change when you make it change! People getting on the phone and saying, I want to hear U2 . That's when it's going to change . It needs action 9)

from people . I think it's important thatLeople don't enclose themselves in little groups, safe houses . They should ring up these radio stations that they never eve n think of listening to and say, hey, what about this?! Things are gonna change , believe me they will . There's a whole new blood rushing through the veins of radi o that people are trying to cut off with tourniquet . But seriously, it's not gonn a last . It's gotta burst through . Leslie : Last year when you played down at the Agora there were rumors floating around tha t you all might be moving to Atlanta . Is that just a rumor ? Bono : Well . . .no . . .(slowly, thoughtfully) We do love Atlanta, actually . We have some peopl e there that we love . We like playing there and I said I wouldn't mind living there . It's a place I can feel at home in . People just took up that comment . . .It was a gesture of how I felt about the place more than a serious thought . Leslie : Can you tell me about your very first single that you put out on vinyl ? Bono : It's called"U23 : It was really garageland tape . . .fragile . . .but explicit . . .I feel . . . (sighs) It's very hard for me to talk about it . I hated it when it 'ome Alt, but T love it now . I find that's what happens with a lot of the records . It's like i t was ahead of its time in its time . I think it was even ahead of me . I didn't quit e realize what we were doing . It was quite simple . "Out of Control", "Stories for Boys " were on there in their root form and a song called "Boy-Girl", a sorta tongue in-cheek song about luv and what's expected of each partner in the role, was o n there too . It brought the English press to our doorstep . People talked about th e record a lot . Even though it was released in Ireland, it got over there on impor t and it was our passport to what was going on in London . So we went to London an d got a record deal and released an album, "Boy" . People talked about that in Europe , so we went to Europe . Then people starting talking n the U .S ., so we came ove r here . The same child that was on the single,"U23'', is on the "Boy" cover excep t two years older . It shows progression . Leslie : Is that record still available or was it just a limited pressing? And if so, wil l it ever be rereleased ? Bono : You can get it in Ireland . No, it will never be rereleased . We made a 12" of i t as well . There wzs only supposed to be a thousand copies made . We found out tha t people had been printing it up all over the place . . .10,000 copies of it ! Leslie : You were talking about using three different producers for the next album . Have you recorded any songs for it yet? I guess it's still sorta soon . Bono : Me and the band, we've just decided to stop . This is our last tour for a long time . Leslie : You've done four in this last year . Bono : A lot of people don't understand that U2 are going off the road, We tend to do a bit of living, get a bit of life in the music while on tour and the life has bee n there . We think now is the time to stop . It's like the way we recorded "October" . . . lp (, let's see what happens . . .working on the microphone . . .improvisation . . .That' s i one way, but we wouldn't like to do that way again . I wouldn't like to mak e "October 2" or make "Boy 2" . We want a different environment . I get very, very angry when I watch the news and I read about what's going on in my own country . I don't mean a destructive anger, more a righteous anger . I feel I want to be at home . There's things I'm interested in that are going on at home . I want to be there . I want to be a part of what's going on in our country at this time, which I thin k will be the central issue of the next record . So there's no point in us being o n the road, cuz I feel that's where the next record has got to go . Leslie : After all, how long can you tour ? Bono : OH! I can tour! (Laughs) I CAN TOUR! I mean I sometimes think I'm gonna die, but I'l l die laughing and I can't wait for the day! I still feel that excitment . Tonight , I'm not going through the motions or the emotions and really . . .it is special . I t is a special band . It's a special chemistry between the four people and it work s (snaps his fingers) every night (again) and to even talk about it like the way Tm talking about it is to take away from it . But it's true . And let me say this, w e are here working because we do enjoy what we're doing . It is to the extent of ou r belief in the music that has us here . A lot of bands always say (goes into tough guyilk) "Aw yeah, we think peop le should buy our records and we think radio i s in a terrible state, but we're not going to do anything as far as trying to communicate that to people . " Leslie : Unless you simply get un and do it and stop talking about it . . . Bono : Oh, it was always the way when we were in the garage band . In Dublin there wer e all these circles where p eople talked about this and that, and they talked about al l 1 0) the thin g s that they hated and all the r e a o it . Rat while they were talking i t

dawned on us that maybe we should be putting up posters and so we didn't go to be d at night . We used to put posters around the city and people would wake up the next day to this : Vote for U2, the Edge as president . . .I don't know . We went out, we worked and I think that's important . And that's why we're here . That's why we're on this bus . That's why I'm talking to you . It's not a chore for me to talk to you . I'm here as a truck because I believe in what we're doing and I think that you believe in it too and if you don't I hope that at the end of it you will . Seriously, I don't want you to ever think that playing live for U2 is because we're into making money because we're losing money being over here . We could have put the money w e made on our records intobuying Volkswagens or a new tennis racquet or something , but no . We spent our money reinvesting coming over again . We wanted to tour . And with a "See you, Leslie" Bono, already late, bound off the bus and raced to hi s soundcheck . After U2's soundcheck the auditorium doors opened and the crowd came pouring in . M .C . Kostek (of WCEZ) and I managed to grab second row seats . I took a moment and looke d around . The auditorium was a barn, big and round . I looked at the people and figured th e average age to be seventeen . It was an excited, lively crowd, with some in stark black and white U2 tee shirts that stood out like buoys in the sea of the J . Geils tee shirte d throng . The sudden darkness heralded U2's arrival to the stage . The lights flashed up and there they were . Bono shouted greetings . Larry began a furious drum roll . Adam' s bass entered, setting the beat . Then with the Edge's spine thrilling guitar chord s shooting over our heads, U2 burst into "Gloria"! This could be (is?) their theme song , for in it they praise that from which they receive their power . "Oh Lord, if I had anything, anything at all, I give it to You" . Next, "I Threw a Brick Through a Window" , a sultry melodic song with an easy going walking beat, featured the Edge echoing Bono' s calls of "He was my brother!" . This band is family . Another furious drum roll from Larry and they plunged into "A Day Without Me" . People got up and danced on their chairs . A slower tempoed song, "An Cat Dubli n (which is Gaelic for "a black cat", as explained b y Bono) was performed next . The Edge's back up vocals matched his guitar's harmonic flow , adding layer upon layer of ringing swirls of sound . Slower yet, "Into the Heart" stirre d tender emotions . The crowd roared its approval to Bono's "glad to be here with J . Geils " speech . Wasting no time, U2 blasted into "Rejoice" . I looked around and saw faces full of wonderment and some confusion . Who is this guy dancing around, telling us to rejoice? il)

they seemed to say . "The Electric Co ." went by fast . Bono talked-yelled the lyrics , while the Edge chopped the air with very fast chords . The Edge sat down to an electri c piano and opened "I Fall Down" with a delicate melody . Bono strapped on a guitar to fil l in the missing rhythm chords . Shedding the guitar at the end of the song, Bono announce d "This is something, something for you! It's called 'I-WILL-FOLLOW'!" At last, a song th e whole crowd had heard on their rack'n'roll station . Adam added his voice to the choru s of this their most accessible song . The spooky "Twilight" followed . With a thunderin g three chord progression, the Edge led U2 into their closing number, "Out of Control" . Though the people up front screamed and yelled their approval, U2 did not come back fo r an encore . It wasn't enough . The crowd wanted J . Geils . That night (March 1th), Adam and the Edge were guest DJs at WCEZ-FM in Jupiter . Adam brought a bottle of wine . The station provided coffee and tea which we drank to kee p awake . M .C . asked them to pick out their favorite songs, which they announced over th e air, and had them answer the phone for requests from listeners . After about two hours, the y sadly said they had to get some sleep . Since I was heading south, I offered to drive the m back to the motel . All the way back, M .C . played U2's music . Edge commented on how differently they played it in concert . At the motel they thanked me for the ride, and afte r saying I'd see them again in Tampa, they responded with a cherry "See you there! " It rainned lightly the night of the Tampa concert, leaving a silver sheen to th e streets . Explaining we were photographers for Suburban Relapse, Karen Snyder and I got our cameras into the concert . Curtis Hixson Hall filled fast, another sell out . We hurrie d to the stage and threaded our way to the front . U2's Tampa show had the same song order , but was much tighter than West Palm . They seemed rested and more in tune with the audience . There was no excess in the show . It was a lean, trim, short concert, about fourty-five minutes to an hour . Bono was so up for the Tampa show that he was in front of himself . He called out his "Thank you!" long before each song was over, seemingly thanking th e people for being there . Laughing, tripping, stumbling in urgent ecstasy, wanting to embrac e everyone there with the love they feel for their music, their vision, this is the essence U2 expressed in concert . And the band was in top form to do it . The crowd called for and received an encore . "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" was a thrilling end to a great performance . Make no mistake, U2 is a band on the move . They're eager for recognition, airplay , press . . .to "make a living" . Yes, but more . . .to spread joy . Yet for all their seal, the y are completely down to earth. They look you straight in the in eye, listen to what yo u have to say, and make you feel special .

One of my favorite bands on the Dischord Flex Your Head " sampler is Void . They are actually from Columbia (not D .C .) and have been together over a year . The band consists of John, singer ; Bubba , guitar ; Chris, bass ; and Sean, drummer . They are all young (betwee n 15 and 18 years) yet are serious about their band . They plan o n sticking it out unlike some of the other short lived D .C . bands (S .O .A . Minor Threat, Youth Brigade . . .) . I talked briefly with John and Sean on the phone about the band but unfortunetly my tape recorder screwed up and most of thei r conversation was lost in the long distance static . We discusse d their recording plans and they informed me that they will probabl y be putting together an EP for Dischord . They are also considering th e possibility of an LP also . The band's been influenced by everything and nothing" according to Sean although they both singled out heavy metal bands like Motorhead as favorites of theirs . All the band members take stabs at songwriting so the whole band takes credit for their songs . Void's symbol is that of two crosses, one of which is upside down . Basically what they're saying behind this is that peopl e need to think for themselves and make their own decisions in lif e on religion or whatever . The group is not necessarily anti- violenc e although they are against people who come to the gigs and try t o cause problems with the crowd . They mentioned how occasionall y some of the marines come in looking for trouble and sometimes th e crowd has to straighten them out . Problems with the police als o arise at times . A rock throwing incident was related in which some of the outside kids were throwing rocks at some of the punks and th e police went after the punks instead of the kids throwing the rocks . We also discussed Henry and they both agreed that i t was great that he joined up with Black Flag . Although personally I still prefer S .O .A . they feel differently . They consider Blac k Flag a more"serious" band, older and more determined which S .O .A . was not . I also brought up how there's a few young bands formin g locally and the difficulty they are having at finding gigs . Sean suggested that they throw parties by inviting a bunch of peopl e and play there . "Anywhere you can you should get people to play . That's how it all starts ." (Anyone listening?-Ed .) Anyway they're still tied up with school which prohibits out of town gigs at th e moment although they've had offers in New York and Boston . Thi s summer they want to travel south to North Carolina and beyond . I'd love to see them play Florida although I won't hold my breath .

PAPA MICHIGAN AND GENERAL SMILEY , MIKEY JARREST, WORLD QUAKE BAN D at the SEVILLE HOTEL, MIAMI BCH . , MARCH 26--- More reggae shows hav e been overpriced, under crowded, can celled, and otherwise fowled up b y the promoters than any other kin d of shows I've been to so I had serious doubts that this one would be pulled off . Well someone finall y figured that they'd get 3 times as many people at $8 than at $15 s o when I got there at around 10 :00 the place was pretty well packed and more people were still coming in . Th e World Quake band went on first an d although they were all very goo d musicians their set consisted of th e usual covers and not much else . Mikey Jarret went on next but he wa s very boring so I just wandered around the lobby for awhile . Then it was time for Michigan and Smiley, two former DJ' s from the land of dub wise B sides . They went on with the Quake ban d backing them up and the lack o f practice was made clear by the keyboardist and the guitar player arguing about chords during some o f the songs but the show came of f great and the sound was terrific . Although the set was slightly short they were the best reggae band I've ever seen . Oh by the way, there wa s supposed to be another show on Marc h 28 but not enough people showed up so the show was delayed 4 hours an d then cancelled- oh well . (DAVID CAMP)

PINSKY ZOO at THE VENUE FEB . 1 8 LONDON, ENG .--- Why is it that names for alot of up coming bands are associated with animals? There' s Pigbag, Animal Magnet, Anima l Nightlife, Pinsky Zoo, Monkey Farm , to name but a few . Well I tried t o find an answer since Pinsky Zo o were playing at the Venue alon g with The Dance and the beautifu l and sexy Carmel . I turned up afte r a few pints to find a bunch of people milling about in the doorway . "Oh Bollocks" I said politely, no t wanting to wait in the cold an d proceed past the que towards an offical looking gent, with spectacles and flared trousers . Hi I said (with my best Southern State s accent) what's happening man! The n I introduced myself and said I wa s writing a series of articles fo r Suburban Relapse- one of the leading US pubs (some folks will fal l for anything-Ed .) and wanted t o check out his club . He promptl y put me on the guest list and I walked into the club straining and trying hard not to explode wit h laughter . A "wit of a banker" I thought! The place was full o f "wallies" so I found my way to th e bar and continued to get pist . After a rather dissapointing performance by Carmel, the Zoo came on . I managed to find a good spot awa y from the pseudo hipsters . The sound as far as I can describe was avan t garde rhythmic jazz- if that make s any sense! Jan was doing a fine jo b of blowing his sax into differen t proportions while Tim (bass) and Ti m B (drums) were keeping up the beat . This mixed with choppy piano cuts , and a dazzaling display of percussion, produced the fine sounds tha t this band makes . I was very impressed . They are currently supporting Pigbag in the UK and hav e an LP out entitled, "Introduce M e to the Doctor" . --- Well why is i t that names for alot of up comin g bands are associated with animals ? Fuck knows! Why do giraffes hav e velvet covered horns? (JAMES DAVIES)

HiU, ~t i-ANiC atALiiANY UM FIRE LONDON . ENG .--- It was my firs t time at the Empire and after a 2 0 minute tube ride, followed by a 3 0 minute walk, I began to wonder if i t really did exist . Well it did, and what an amazing place it was too ! Quite small, octaganal in shape, and with a balcony that made it loo k like a Shakesperian theatre . Th e show started with what I can onl y describe as a "one man band" . A strange looking bod that played a violin, foot organ, harmonica, al l at once, with a flute shoved up hi s ass! There was an overwhelming sigh of relief from all around, when h e exited the stage . RR&P wasted n o time in coming on . Playing a long set, with Gareth dancing like a crazy man (maybe he is) from star t to finish . Their performance showe d what a team they really were . Th e crowd were just as visual as th e band . Rather than "dressing up " , people had "dressed down" and favored the "beat look" . The atmosphere was more like that of a party, my only criticism was that i t had to come to an end .

TH BONGOS at THE CUBAN CLUB, TAMPA , FLA . MAR . 20 . 1982--- It's been 5 years sires e Rick Barone left th e snails of Tampa and moved up to NYC in search of the perfect pop band . That band, the Bongos lead by Ric k played the Cuban Club . It was in one sense a homecoming for him with man y friends showing up and seeing hi m for the first time since h e _k out for NYC . Others came be cause they were attracted by the reputation of the Bongos or for th e lack of other entertainment . The audience was treated t o enthusiastic live versions of thei r well known singles, plus materia l from their LP . The Bongos' music appeals to those who like pretty pop tunes by pleasant people reminescen t of the psychedelic 60's . Those wh o love the bands' records were not disappointed . Others were won over by the groups' enthusiasm . The rest o f the crowd amused themselves by sla m dancing (to the Bongos???) in th e back of the hall, or were to be foun d on the patio discussing where the y would rather be and with whom playing . Then it was over . A good hal l was had by time . . . (PAM WIENER & JOHN DUBRULE)

I'm sure most of you have already heard that Crucial Trut h A .K .A . the Throbs have broken up in NYC . Anyway in case you naven' t heard the news I'll rehash the events for you . Davis was fire d from the band apparently over an argument with Gary . Davis move d back to his home in the Carolinas and Billy Weasal then steeped i n as a replacement on bass . It was at this time that Skip A .K .A . Mario (the guy who was responsible for that incredible heav y metal overkill guitar sound) decided he had enough of the ban d and the city . He picked up his girlfriend and made the move bac k to Pompano Beach to start a blues band (??!! is this the same guy? ) and make some money . The news of the split came as a suprise to many of thei r fans . They had the potential to become one of the best hardcor e thrash bands in the country . They were doing quite well in NY . A gig with the Bad Brains at CBGB's was a smash and they eve n headlined a night at the Peppermint Lounge which recieved som e encouraging words including a top and center report in Short New z right next to the Damned interview! It seems like such a waste , as soon as things start happening . . . it's all over . There was a time when the Throbs were one of the worst band s on the scene . I remember the first time I saw them, it was aroun d 2 years ago at a party over at Skip's house . They did some butchere d Pistols and Clash covers including "Anarchy" and " God Save th e Queen" . Gary was doing his Johnny Rotten impersonations and they wer e awful! Well they improved a little (but not much) and along wit h the Weasals went on to become one of the area's top drunk bands . . . some honor huh? Guess what happened next? That's right . . . the tota l unexpected occured . They straightened up their act (after a tri p to D .C . and seeing bands like Minor Threat) and spit everythin g back into everyone's face . How could a band that was so bad al l of a sudden sound so fuckin' good? Fast, loud, and incredibl y tight they were stunning to say the least and Gary was no longe r Johnny Rotten, he was Gary Shaft- his own madman . I feel letdown again but I suppose it was inevitable . I realise nothings ever permanent but couldn't they have at leas t kept at it long enough for their record to be released? The ou t come could have been different if they had stuck things out a little bit longer . NOT: : After writing this new reports and updates on the status o f the band have been coming in practically every day : they're breaking up ; they're getting back together again ; they've got some ne w members ; they're breaking up for good this time . . . and so on . I give up! In case you're interested the latest for today (according t o David Camp) is that Gary and Leo are holding things down with Bill y Weasal on guitar and Harley (former drummer for the Stimulators ) on bass . Anyway stay tuned for next issue in which Luke and Laur a leave General Hospital and decide to get together with some friend s in New York and form a skank band and

NEW S BRIEF S

and other world events

Things are a little slow locally . . . maybe everyone's preparing themselves for the summer heat . Last issue we mentioned an all gir l thrash band that was forming, well they've dropped their sexual restrictions and their lineup is finally set . They're calling them selves Archiac Conflict and the band consists of Debbie Rage , lead vocals ; Mario (from Menstrual Cycles), guitar ; Lois, bass ; an d Carmen, drums . Rage is a big fan of most of the British of bands . . . . oh yes, they're practicing at Sync studios . The Abusers have als o been doing slot of practicing latley . According to reports they are I have finall y similar in sound to alot of the current L .A . bands heard those Reactions tapes that David Camp has been talking about . All I can say is WOW! Please somebody release this stuff! Not onl y is the recording quality superior to their two EP's but their performance comes much closer to capturing their live sound . I really mis s that band and yes (can I say this?) they were #1 . Remember their ol d guitarist and former star of the Miami Herald's Living Today section , Mr . Issac Baruch? Of course you do, well he's back in town again an d is trying to put together a new pop punk band . I'll be looking for ward to this David Camp's also been busy and has been doing some recording alone at home of a somewhat experimental nature . If he eve r puts out any of this stuff he will be using the name, Dachau which wa s the name of a Nazi concentration camp for political prisioners Speaking of art, John Cecka and Adam Klein (one of our writers- every one's joining bands except for me) are getting together an avant- gard e band of sorts . They will be utilizing pre recorded tapes along wit h visual projections . This means that Cecka is no longer with Monke y Farm (at least for the moment) . Supposidly the rest of Monkey Farm ar e still at it but one can never tell The Essentials have been recording with Charlie Pickett producing . I've heard one of the tape s and it's one of the best things I've heard from this band . . . Charlie' s LP is also finished but it will be a little longer till it's released . I can't wait . . . ditto the same for the Florida compilation . There wil l be some great stuff on that but unfortunetly there won't be much i n the way of hardcore on it . Regardless it will still be a must to ge t and the cover is quite funny and it will also be a valuable guide fo r tourists Guess who else is recording finally? The Eat ar e making an LP but I'll believe it when I see . . . . c'mon Eddie : : : : Th e Screaming Sneakers keep poping in and out of town . I missed them o n their last visit here however Gary did show me a video of one o f their gigs (I won't mention the club's name) . I'll be there the nex t time they play Journalism Newz : Dave Fun, the editor of the Bor ington Journal has left town for L .A . however his sister Cheri wil l be running things now . One thing I agree with Cheri on is how muc h superior the American hardcore bands are over the British bands Also at the disco (I mean the New Wave Lounge) Alex plays a goo d mixture of current punk from both continents . The other DJ there (th e guy with the beard) is the worst . I spent two hours there on a Thursda y nite awhile back and he only played one good record -- "Christine " by Siouxsie & the Banshees .

ORANGE JUICE "YOU CAN'T HIDE YOU R LOT,. r'OR 'IER " (POLYDORLP)-- - Thei r long awaited, liberating album i s here! This is one fine album wit h no loss of crispness and ingenuit y which was expected by those peopl e who embraced OJ with their strin g of suprisi.ng and fun singles on P stcard0 I wasn't expecting to b e let down with their Polydor signing . This new optimism holds me over . There is some sense of Cohesion , some sense or light and pervadin g goodness that's brainwashed good . I owe it to OJ for making me s o aware of this ; it's freshness, complexities, it's upward and onwar d thrust . Side one starts with th e lighthearted, "Falling and Laughing " and is followed by my favorite son g on the album, "Untitled Melod", a happy little romantic song with a psychedelic bend to it . Some snippet s o brassey funk enter into "Wan Light" along with many of the othe r sons as well . "Dying Day" has a wonderful bugle call- a sort of prou d fragement of a call towards greatness that has the Scottish landscap e in it . And that's just a bit of sid e one . Must be heard and felt . (ADA M KLEIN) (I love it too! -Ed . ) ] AMBULANCE , ri ; ILATEAU PHASE " C'IOH} BENELUX LP)-- - . What a diss apei.ntment! These guys were much bet ter when they sounded like Joy Divi_ cion . The majority of this LP i s very snacey . They use what sound s like a Nellotron which could mak e them the new Moody Blues . Just wha t we need . . . right? A few of the song s are less pretentious but overal l this LP should be avoided . (BOZ)

VARIOUS ARTISTS "PUNK & DISORDERLY " (ABSTRACTLPZ--- A compilation o f current British punk (excluding a Dead Kennedys cut) that features a total of 15 different bands . Al though I must admit a prefrenc e towards American punk these day s (the bands have freakier names) , this LP does provide us a good over view of a healthy British scene . Some of the bands present are al ready familar (Vice Squad, U .K . Decay) while others are new to me (Adicts, Outcasts) . Suprisingl y most of the material is top notc h with hardly a klinker to be found . My favorites include Vice Squad be cause they have the only girl out o f the whole batch . Also Disorde r who's " Complete Disorder" is appropriatly titled- a fast rush o f metallic noise . Other stand out s include Blitz, U .B .H ., and th e Adicts whose "Straightjacket " re minds me of early Damned . Overal l this is a solid collection and an excellent introduction to some ne w bands, a few of which I'll be keeping my eyes out for in the future . BOZ)

CIRCLE JERKS "WILD IN THE STREETS " (FRONTIERLP)-- - "Wild in the Streets " is not quite the trash, bash, an d skank epic that "Group Sex" was . Th e songs themselves also seem to lac k the immediate sing along appeal o f their predecessors . Regardless th e band is tighter and just Ps forceful . There's some new tempos a s well to stimulate some new danc e steps(??) . The new material is grea t especially "Stars and Stripes' , "Trapped", and "Murder the Disturbed" . A minor peeve : How bout' putttin g to rest that stupid carton? It onl y helps to support a sterotype tha t limits individuality- spikes, boots , bandanas, chains . . . it's not a uniform! Anyway I think the Circl e Jerks are a great band and I lik e their new album alot too! (BOZ ) XTC "ENGLISH SETTLEMENT" (VIRGI N DOUBLELP)--- Double LP's alway s seem a little formidable to review so much to cram into a paragraph . S o let's say XTC has lost a lot of th e bounce they began with (on "White

Music"- remember?) and replaced i t with layers of textures and songwriting "maturity" . That means longer song s with more seemingly directionles s passages . Only side 3 bogs down badly , but it never makes me dizzy either , like "White Music" did . I miss that . (CZ ) VARIOUS ARTISTS "FLEX YOUR HEAD " (DISCHORDLP)--- The picture on th e front cover may be misleading for som e but make no mistake cause the titl e is there in big letters . If you're a t all familar with any of the previou s Dischord singles you probably have an idea of what to expect . Eleven bands and 32 songs for $5 . . . how can you g o wrong? Check out Minor Threat doin g their cover of Wire's "12XU" or "De humanized " by Void which is a powerful exercise in thrash feedback an d distortion . "Flex Your Head" is a great introduction to the young D .C . scene . It's a scene without any star s or any major record label support . In other words the scene is still "pure " and it shows in the music of all thes e bands . This is an absolute must! (BOZ)

l'tiit.T;it oe' aic " WF`i'viOtID " 1Nfir rE Lr)--- here we have the firs t ;'ttidio L!' from the Theatre of Hat e which comes just in time for thos e of us who were wondering what woul d be next (another live LP?, a new duty 12"?) . I can fortunetly say though that YES it's been worth the wait . Some of the material will already be familar but there are som e new things as well . Mick Jones ha s done a great job in his role as proueer. He's captured that raw and tense edge of the band but yet th e overall sound is clean and polished . The drums roar like strikes of thun. der, the sax player still sends me off into space, and Kirk is becomin g - one of my favorite vocalists . Maybe it's the way he holds his notes , confident and steady but neve r = ovtrbearing. All the tunes are fantastic . The initial apocolyptic rush of "Judgement Hymn" makes m e weak . "Freaks" is a carnival affai r that changes it's pace quickly throughout the song . I also like the bits of Spanish guitar on "The Ne w Trail of Tears" . If you haven' t already guessed this LP is a must . (BOZ)
(Bei4'

THE JAM "THE GIFT'' (POLYDORLP)--If the Jam really hate the Clash as E much as they profess, why did the y feel compelled to record their companion piece to "Sandinista"? It' s still definetly the Jam, but they'r e exploring alot of the same areas with mixed results . "Precious" and "The Planners Dream Goes Wrong" foo l around with funk and salsa rhythms , but neither is particuraly self assured, and "Trans Global Express" trie s to be an " important statement" but buries it's lyrics in a muddy mix . On the other hand, almost all of side two is wonderful as is "Just Who i s The 5 O'Clock Hero?" . So basically "The Gift" is their most mixed- u p LP since "Modern World" but not a bad one at all . (CZ ) BAD RELIGION "HOW COULDHELL BE ANY WORSE" (EPITAPHLP)--- Great, Great , Great and beyond that it's actuall y good too (ignore track 2 on side AT . Right now this is my favorite hardcore record and my favorite L .A . band . Good words, good music, good attitude . How could L .A . be any better? (DAVID CAMP )

THE MISFITS "WALK AMONG US " (RUBYLP)--- I've heard alo t about this New York band wh o have been around for awhile . This LP was just recently released and is the first non-wes t coast band to appear on th e Slash/Ruby roster . The Misfit s are in the horror punk vei n which is reflected in thei r dress and in the songs them selves ("Astro Zombies", "Brain eaters") . They play fairly fas t but none of the material i s particuraly powerful . Stronge r hooks and melodies couldn' t hurt . Regardless this LP doe s have it's moments but ther e are better bands doing this typ e of thing particuraly TSO L ("Dance With Me" LP) and 4 5 Grave whose three selections on the " Hell comes to Your House " compilation have become favorites of mine . Also lets not for get the Cramps!!!!!! (BOZ)

THROBBiN GRISTLE "BEYOND JAll FUNK " (ROUGHTRADE cassette)---- T .G . are not very fun nor is their musi c easy to listen to, however they are worth the extra effort, Whateve r pain is felt is not permanent . Thei r music is sometimes scary and freightening ; a bad drug experience o f distorted sounds and voices . Thi s is not passive music because it make s you feel and react . Pain is an emotion . Anyway this tape is from a concert recorded in London ove r a year ago and is an hour long . It' s everything we've come to expect from T .G . which means it's quite good indeed . I sometimes wonder what th e typical (if there is such a thing ) T .G . fan is like? Outside of a couple friends I don't know anybody into this stuff . Also I might mention that there's a 5 album box se t of T .G . thats just recently bee n released . It's gorgous but very expensive . (BOZ)

VARIOUS ARTISTS "TO THE SHORES O F LAKE PLACID" (ZOOLP)--- A compi lation of older material from 8 different Liverpool bands tha t according to the notes insid e come from the play, "To th e Shores of Lake Placid" which i s news to me . I count 3 immediat e losers from the " art" department ; Dalek, Whopper, and the Turquios e Swimming Pools . Big in Japan features the vocals of Jayne who yo u may remember from Pink Militery . I like their 2 selections- light er and more fun than the stuff o n the Pink Militery LP . Those Naughty Lumps have an OK 60's pun k sound."Lonley Spy" by Lori & th e Chameleons is a haunting pop song with horns . The real stars of th e set however are Echo & the Bunnymen and Teardrop Explodes . W e have early versions of Echo' s "Books " , "Villier's Terrace" , "Pictures on My Wall" along wit h "When I dream" by Teardrop . Surrisingly both bands display a lighter "airer" approach, the versions here are not as powerfu l but still interesting in a "nice " sort of way . Also Teardrop' s "take a Chance" shows a stron g Doors influence and not the othe r way around . Anyway the LPpackaging is excellent and most Tear drop and Echo fans will want t o own this . (BOZ ) LORA LOGIC "PEDIGREE CHARM "

CHRISTIANDEATH"ONLYTHEATREO F PAIN" (FRONTIERLP)--- The music o f this L .A . band (which includes former Adolescent Rikk Agnew) migh t best be described as death or horro r rock . Although the music does share some similarities to punk the tempo s are much slower (often dirge like ) and the vocals are more restrained . The lyrics deal primarily with topic s from the underworld ; death, Satan , disease, etc . . . Most of the materia l on this LP is quite listenable and certainly not all that "shocking" G more along the lines of a good B grade horror movie . Unfortunetl y nothing particuarly stands out an d parts of the album become dragge d (drugged?) out and things become a bit tiresome although this could b e their intent . An interesting but limited (?) concept . (BO Z

TROUGH TRADE LP--- An eas y

listening version of Essentia l Logic, which was a directio n that the band was heading in . This is a relaxing album ; the tune s themselves are lazy and meandering- a soothing blend of offbea t jazz and funk . It's an easy flowing sound that's suited fo r those HOT Florida summers in which some of us move slower . Laura's hot/cool sax playing i s still top notch incidently . I f you liked some of the more recen t Essential Logic singles you'l l probably like this . (CZ)

THE REPLACEMENTS "SORRY MA . FORGO T TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH (TWINTONE LP ) The Replacements come from Minneanapolis . I wouldn't conside r them hardcore (their music is derived from more traditional roc k sources) but they do play fast and hard . Even though they have plent y of spirit and drive a whole LP i s a bit much for me, some of thei r stronger moments are lost in th e bulk . I somehow feel an EP woul d have made a stronger impression . Regardless this isn't half bad and the Replacements could/might???? be a great live band . (BOZ )

singles & ep's

LYDIA LUNCH/BIRTHDAY PARTY "TH E AGONY IS THE ECSTASY/DRUNK ON TH E POPE'S BLOOD' (4AD 12"EP)--- A sid e each from the Birthday Party and Miss Lunch, both recorded live . Lydia's side is dissapointing, it' s the'migrane'of Teenage Jesus take n to an extreme . What we have is 1 0 minutes plus of a long drone that' s tedious and overdone . However whe n you're in love with someone you ten d to overlook their faults so I'l l live with this . The side from th e Birthday Party is better listenin g fare who produce a sharper pictur e of this 'agony" . "Loose is th e highlight of their set ; screechin g bursts of guitar and the torture d vocals of Nick Cave add a demoni c dimension to the old Stooges classic . Also included is a good version o f 'Zoo Music Girl" one of the bette r selections from their 'Prayers on ' Fire' LP . (BOZ ) THE HAPPY FAMILY "PURITANS' (4AD 7 ' EP)--- No you're not reading The Offense even though this is our second review of 4AD product in thi s issue . Supposidly this band ha s some connections with Joseph K- th e band everybody ignored last year . The guitarist sounds real familarcan it possibly be? Enough speculation, lets get on with the re view . This record will grow on yo u if you give it the chance . Firs t impressions are not always the best "Innermost Thoughts" is slow an d reflective- I even like the flute . 'The Mistake' is snappier, creating a better feeling like the feelin g I get from listening to Orang e Juice except these guys don't sound as optimistic . They're much more difficult to figure out . 'Puritans " features some of that magical guitar . . . I wonder . This record is a departure of sorts from most of th e other stuff I've heard on 4AD . I hope they do an album soon . (BOZ) 28)

HATES 'BORED WITH THE BOYS ' (FACELESS 7'EP)--- I wasn' t that crazy about the first Hate s EP reviewed in our last issu e but this one really shapes up . There are 4 good medium tempo garage punk tunes here, al l with catchy hooks and melodies . I especially like the almos t 'off the wall" guitar on "D o the Caryl Chessman" and th e fagged dance beat of "Soldier" . This Texas band has bee n around for awhile and if the y were from somewhere else lik e L .A . I'm sure they would b e better known . Send $3 to 420 0 W 34th, Box 132, Houston, Tx . 77092 . (BOZ ) (Note : This EP is a little o n the old side . Normally we onl y review new releases but seein g that the band did go through the trouble of mailing us a copy of this . . . what the hell? )

FAMILY FUN "REC TWEEDS "MUSIC F EP) . VINNY "WHY 'HIJACKER' (7') We won't as their name from be America's po or at least Mas this stuff is p good pop always it's own wit an news ; most of t sounds a little for their own g duced by David Fun takes their sound and freak least on the "m - I didn't list cause the label "Games' is like good fun . The T faves, especial and "Still in L in a Beatleish more like Badfi anything to you "The beat goes goes on" . Belie

VARIOUS ARTISTS "PROCESS O F ELIMINATION" (TOUCH & GO 7' EP ) -- Eight different Midwest band s including the Necros, Youth Patrol , Toxic Reasons, and Violent Apathy . My favorite is the Necro's 'Bad . Dream' with it's alternating slo w and very fast parts . The Meatme n sound like they're probably hysterically funny to watch . It' s really amazing how all these smal l scenes are growing and developing in all these unlikley places al l over the country . Anyway this E P is recommended and at $3 i s (BOZ ) quite a bargain .

CUNTS LIVE (DISTURBING 7 11 )--- I don't quite understand the industrial inserts in the sleeve no r can I figure out the reasoning be hind the band's name . What's unusual is that the music on thi s single is basically just sixtie s garage punk . In fact "A Date With Diaster could have been stole n out of the Seeds unrecorded song book . Competent . Sixties fans wil l probably go nuts over it . (Writ e to ; P .O . Box 11463, Chicago, Ill . 60611) . (BOZ )

FAMILY FUN "RECORD" (12" EP) TH E TWEEDS"MUSICFORCAR RADIOS 1 (12 " EP) . VINNY 'WHY CAN'T YOU SAY LOVE' / (ALL ON EAT RECORDS ) "HIJACKER' (7 " ) --- We won't ask em' where they stol e their name from, but Eat records mus t be America's pop music headquarters or at least Massachusetts' . . . All o f this stuff is pretty derivative, bu t good pop always transcends that wit h it's own wit and personality . Goo d news ; most of this stuff does! Vinn y sounds a little too much like the Car s for their own good (they're even produced by David Robinson) but Famil y Fun takes their B-52's-with-rhythmbo x sound and freaks out even further (a t least on the "mono side" of 'Record " - I didn't listen to the "Stereo side " cause the label warned me not to) . "Games' is likely disco fodder- rea l good fun . The Tweeds were my particula r faves, especially "We Ran Ourselves " and "Still in Love" ; strong rock/po p in a Beatleish vein, but it sound s more like Badfinger, if that mean s anything to you . Eat records' slogan "The beat goes in before the nam e goes on" . Believe it . (CZ )

KRAUT "UNEMPLOYED" (CABBAGE 7' EP ) --- Kraut are a young band from Ne w York . 'Unemployed' is a fine tun e with a strong drive and a menacin g guitar sound . Good vocals also . "Las t Chance' and "Matinee" are a bi t faster and are also catchy although not quite as infectious as the A side . I like this record much bette r than the False Prophets (another N Y band) disc I got a few months ago . Worth checking out . (BOZ )

U2 "A CELEBRATION"/"TRASH . TRAMPOLINE, & THE PARTY GIRL' (ISLAND 7' ) -- - From the opening chant of "Shake ! Shake :", "A Celebration" is a rea l rocker! It's earthy music, the ban d concerning itself with political matters, "I believe in the Third Worl d War, I believe in the atomic bomb , I believe in the powers that be, bu t they won't over power me ." Acknowledging the material world's realit y yet knowing there is another way , Bono sings "I believe you can los e these chains, I believe you can danc e with me . . . and you . . can go there too ." A solid step in the evolutio n of U2 . The B side is rather nerv e racking . Bono's voice sounds lik e the morning after a real humdinge r of a party! Off key and haunting , his voice scratches out the lyric s while the Edge picks a sweet melod y line on a mandolin . Let it grow on you . (LESLIE WIMMER )

TRIPLE XXX GIRLS (RED HAIR 4 SON G EP)--- These 4 girls (I mean guys ) come from Tampa . They wear makeu p on stage ( y uck :) . I tried to approach this record with an open min d but after a few spins it becam e merely annoying . Instrumentall y they have a pretty good sound especially the guitarist who use s some interesting effects . Unfortunetly the vocalist is trying to o hard to be different and the gimmickery retches the point of bein g obnoxious . Maybe this is suppose d to be a novelty record but the novelty wears thin I'm afraid . Perhap s next time they won't try so hard . For info : 8703 Beverly Dr ., Templ e Terr ., Fl . 33617 . (BOZ) 29)

OUR FAVORITE BAND & JASON & THE NASHVILLE SCORCHERS (TWO EP'S ON TH E PRAXIS LABEL)--- Jason & the boys pla y bar style country music . They could b e fun live but their record doesn't support this . Yawn! OFB are a differen t ballgame . They're from Louisiana and have a very primitive basement sound . "Pink Cadillac" is a rockabilly original that sounds like it was recorde d in a tiolet just like all those earl y Sun classics . "What's Inside of Me" i s sly and lowdown 60's punk that bite s back at you . There's also 2 othe r tunes which aren't as easily classi fied . This record is a genuine of f the wall eccentricity and I'll b e looking forward to hearing more .(BOZ ) SECRET AFFAIR "LOST IN THE NIGHT " "THE BIG BEAT" I- SPY " --- Othe r than Time For Action', I never foun d these guys very convincing- especiall y reading Ian Page's statements of anti rock arrogance . When they broke up , I shed no tears . But they're back wit h this single and what a return! Big , booming drums, ringing guitars every where, it's gorgeous- the best Jam / Monkees/B : .itles/Kinks/Cheap `Prick / Who synthesis I've heard in ages . Hey, if you listen close, it eve n sounds a little like the Reactions ' "It's Our Turn Now"! Hot . (CZ ) JOSEPH K "THE FAREWELL SINGLE" (LE S DISQUES DU CREPUSCULE 7")--- This i s Joseph K's farewell single and I don' t see any tears being shed . We have 2 versions of "The Angle", both different from the LP- with and withou t vocals . The production here is no t quite as dense as the album version , it's much cleaner sounding . "Th e Missionary" is something new and onc e again the emphasis is on those "busy " guitars ; fast and quirky the way I like them . I also especially lik e those infectious shifts and change s in the melody of the song, it keep s things moving rather nicely . This wa s one of my favorite bands from las t year . The legacy (if there ever wa s one) is over . (BOZ ) 23 SKIDOO "SEVEN SONGS " (12" FETISHEP)--- Music with a funky quality . More primal and native tha n it is polished . Varies from dance y to what seems like a film soundtrack . And sometimes the songs ru n into each other . (CRAIG SNYDER)
