Blunt Stitches Columbus - Hips / Eat My Wad 7" New Age NA1005, 1982 NR There definitely was a Blunt Stitches from Columbus. Long ago I asked Mike Rep if this 45 existed and he said no. He could be wrong, but I've never seen it.[BD] I have a recording by them on an extremely hard-to-find cassette only comp (listed in Volume) called Nowhere '81: Live in Columbus.

Neptune's Car Cleveland - Baking Bread / Lucky Charms 7" Koolie 240, 1980 PS News Cincinnati - Stop / To Begin With // Brothers / Dix Kilometres De Moi 7" Waldo 003022X, 1980 PS Good pop-rock/new-wave; Brothers is very nearly aggressive enough to describe as punk.[RE] Numbers Band (15-60-75) Kent - Here In The Life / It's In Imagination 7" Hearthan HR108, 1979 SS - Jimmy Bell Is Still In Town LP Water Brothers, 1975 CD Hearthan HR112, 2000 (Animal Speaks / About The Eye Game / Narrow Road / Thief / Jimmy Bell / About Leaving Day) - 15 60 75 The Numbers Band 2 LP Water Brothers, 1982 The Numbers Band albums may not be too bad. They just had no connection with punk/wave scene. The first one always gets a good description on those hippie sale lists but sounds like non-interesting straight rock.[BD] Check out their website. Ohio Arts - 12" details anyone?

A Music War LP A&M SP6019, 1981 - Also various Australian pressings of LPs and a bunch of compilation tracks. First pressings of Art Of Walking lack vocals on Arabia. Later pressings (remixed) add the vocals on Arabia. Phantom Limb Columbus - Admission Of Guilt 7" flexi 1980 PS Came with The Offense fanzine. Pressler-Morgan One Plus One Cleveland - The Hand Piece / You're Gonna Watch Me 7" Hearthan HR107, 1979 SS Spoken word over instrumental noodling. Usually referred to only as Pressler-Morgan as that's what's stamped on the cover. The longer name is only on the labels.[JF] Charlotte Pressler Cleveland - True Confessions / True Confessions (instrumental) 12" Mustard 4002, 1982 Again, spoken word over instrumental noodling, but this time the backing band is the Styrenes. Better than the Paul Marotta LP, but personally I like the John Morton (Electric Eels) cover art more than the music.[JF] Qi-ZZ Cincinnati - 2 Dimensional Love Affair / New Baby 7" Hospital HDO-3A, 1980 PS - Beach Music / John Lennon 7" Hospital HDO-9, 1983 PS John Rader - One Step At A Time / Get You Back 7" Clone 009, PS Razor Penguins Columbus - Paris / Indifference 7" Moment UR2858, 1981 PS Redness Cleveland - Killer Bees / Gran Turismo / Little Debbie // Creme Rinse / Backwards Forward / Primitijam 7" Non S-1, 1980 PS Rockers Cincinnati - Blonde Debbie / Jamaika 7" Lickety Split ???, 1980 PS Brian Sands Cleveland - Reheated Chocolate Tangos 12" Bizart 1, 1979 (The Day The Elves Could Fly / Orangutango / Fivefourthreetwoone / Baby You're A Rich Man // This Lonely Night / White Chocolate / Shoeater) - Fixation LP Bizart 3, 1981 Squidfish Columbus - Marriage Vows / Dorothy 1.2.3.... 7" New Age 103590, 1982 PS as Nudge Squidfish - Squid Songs LP Unpublished Works NS-1, 1983 (X-Mas In A Glass / Kiss & Hugs / I Wanta Fucka Tina Louisea / Hart Of My Hart / Bombs Over Beirut / Drinking All My Tears On Down / Words Of This Song // First Time, Second Time (All The Time) / I Can't Forget The Times / Buffalo Shit / I'm Looking For You / Are You Fooling Youself? / Where Had You Been / The Stranger) Also another LP as Nudge Squidfish in 1985, titled "Nashville, In Nashville", where he was then living. Marriage Vows sounds like transvestite cabaret. 1.2.3... is a kid singing over a Casio. Alright I suppose. Styrenes Cleveland as Polystyrene Jass Band - Drano In My Veins / Circus Highlights 7" Mustard 101, 1975 SS Violet Times VT 103, 2010 SS as Styrene Money - Radial Arm Saws / Just Walking 7" Mustard 102, 1977?
