Good solid comp, a couple of great songs and no out-and-out stinkers. I suggest listening to the Unquestionably Late 7" on EV to put this in more perspective. [HW]
LP - Live At Raul's - Raul's RRLP9161, 1980
I Go Insane - Explosives / Stand Still - Standing Waves / Bridges Are
For Burning - Terminal Mind / Real Love - Next / Cheap Girl - Skunks
// Tommy And Toni - Explosives / Young Experience - Standing Waves /
Radioactive - Terminal Mind / Teen Challenge - Next / Push Me Around
- Skunks
Most of this is pretty lame.[HW]
LP - Live At The Hot Klub - VVV 006, 1982
Victim Of His Age - The Doo / You Really Got It Bad Boy - Telefones /
Drug Induced State - Ralphs / Raison D'etre - Fort Worth Cats / Fade
With The Summer - Ejectors // Mental Case - NCM / Let's Go Join The
Army, My Country - Hugh Beaumont Experience / Two Fists - Stick Men With
Ray Guns / Soldier Of Fortune - The Devices / Anamation - The Frenetics
/ No Can Do - NCM
And this lies somewhere between the two above quality wise.[HW]
LP - Cottage Cheese From The Lips Of Death - WARD-9 W-9001, 1983
Nobody Rules - Really Red / Runnin' Around - D.R.I. / Fight Back - The
Offenders / Soldiers Of A Pure War - My Dolls / Bread & Bombs - Not
For Sale / The Big Picture - Big Boys / Entertainment Tonight
- Prenatal Lust // Christian Rat Attack - Stick Men With Ray Guns /
Moo... - Hugh Beaumont Experience / Rock And Roll Asshole - Marching
Plague / The Shah Sleeps In Lee Harvey's Grave - Butthole Surfers /
Dickhead - Bang Gang / Gilbeau - Dicks / Meltdown - Watchtower
- The second pressing replaces The Shah Sleeps... with I Hate My Job.
Mostly excellent punk and hardcore. Recommended.[HW]
8" flexi - Moment Productions Promo - Moment EV83161, 1983
More Than That - D-Day / Lesson, Funk Off - Big Boys //
Crash And Burn - Standing Waves / Dance It Down - The Pool
LP - A Texas Trip - Caroline CAROL 1339, 1987
Grave City, Kill The Innocent - Stick Men With Ray Guns / All Day, Flame
Grape - Butthole Surfers / In The Neighbourhood - Steve Fitch /
Grievances, Don't Play Cards With Satan - Daniel Johnson
Worth it for the Stick Men songs, Bobby Soxx fans take note.[HW]
2xCD - Tales From The Edge, Vol. 5 & 6 - Reel George Productions, 1992
Ballad of Jerry Godzilla - Telefones / I Confess - Nervebreakers /
Houston El Mover - Joe King Carrasco / Trash - The Doo / Hero -
Fort Worth Cats / Right To Know - D-Day / Urban Situation -
Moving Products / Thru A Filter - Members Only / South Of The Surf
- Schematics / Real Gone - Assassins / Teddy Boy - Ralphs /
George Jetson - Ejectors / Satan Baby - Stick Men With Ray Guns /
Move It - Tex & The Saddletramps / Money Means So Much To Me - Hugh
Beaumont Experience / I Wanna Die Young - Terminal Mind / Cheap Girl -
Skunks / Spazz Age - NCM / Vertigo - Standing Waves / God
Reasons - Red Tapes / In Near You - Quad Pi / All The Pretty Girls
- Judys / War Games - Experts
The first CD is more recent Texas bands, the second a late 70's/early 80's compilation, more new wave than punk but still with some decent tracks, some previously unreleased.[PR] Only disc 2 listed above. Of the otherwise unavailable stuff: Moving Products and Members Only suck outright; Assassins is decent grinding pop, Ejectors is great! (from an unreleased 1983 LP); Stick Men With Ray Guns - what do you think? - of course it's awesome; NCM is also very good; Red Tapes is decent artwank; Tex & the Saddletramps is a good Crampsy track by some ex-Nervebreakers. Liner notes are useful.[HW]
LP - Bloodstains Across Texas - Scando Scumbag, 1993
Rather See You Dead - Legionaires Disease Band / Cheap Rewards - Next
/ I.U.D. - Plastic Idols / Doctor's Wives - Inserts / The Badge Means
You Suck - AK47 / Earthquake Shake - Skunks / John Wayne Was A Nazi

Soxx / Busy Kids - Huns / Lost Causes - Offenders / She's In Love

/ Are You Into Destruction? - Bodysnatchers / My Girlfriend Is A Rock
- Nervebreakers / Baby's Playing Games - Vomit Pigs / I Was A Teenage
Fuckup - Really Red / Hydrohead - Ejectors
Remove the Telefones track and here is a really good comp. Yeah it could have been better but this is as good a starting point for the uninitiated as any. Still available from Forced Exposure last time I looked.[HW]
7" - Sacred Cattle I 7" - EV, EV-07, 1993, [600]
Participation - Boy Problems / Poor Sid, Duke Is Dead - Vast Majority
// Slam Dance - Ejectors / Six Feet Under - NCM
EV exhumes prev. unreleased monsters.[HW] 1998 update - the Boy Problems track is actually called Precipitation.[RR]
7" - Unquestionably Late For The Trend - EV, 12, August 1996, PS
I Ain't No Asshole - Superman's Girlfriend / Hypo, Bomb The Arabs - Vomit
Pigs // Twilite Zone - Skuds / Mag Rock - Dot Vaeth Group
Good stuff, post-potency VPs but my admiration for Dot Vaeth's punk/Southern rock crossover grows. Skuds and SG perform capably. Essential archeological liner notes as well.[HW]
7" - Rather See You Dead - Houston Punk 1978-1979 - Hotbox, #001, 1996 [1000]
Downtown - Really Red / Bother - Hates // Who Killed Martha Mitchell,
Hypocrisy - Legionaire's Disease
Legionaire's Disease tracks are good. Really Red do a good version of the Petula Clark hit. Hates is OK. 100 black vinyl and 900 on coloured.[PR] Says 1994 on labels but was stalled for two years.
LP - Taco City Rockers - Kaniption, K005, 1996
Man In The Middle - Mystery Dates / Reality - Smart Dads /
Who Cares - Marching Plague / EEG - Rejects / She Ran But
We Ran Faster - Bang Gang / Downtown San Antonio - Los #2 Dinners /
Millions Of Dead Spocks - Lost In Space
Great comp of San Antonio bands 1980-1995. I've only listed the 1983 and earlier ones here. Read the liner notes.
LP - Deep In The Throat Of Texas - Existential Vacuum, EV14, August 1997
Mr Wonderful, Monotony, Cheap Rewards - The Next / Crowd Control,
Corporate Settings - Really Red / White Collar Worker, Armed Robbery,
Baby's Playing Games - Dot Vaeth Group // The Badge Means You Suck,
Kiss My Machine - AK47 / Cotton Fields, Grind Her Up - Uncalled
4 / I Wanna Be A Number, God's Groin, Throwdown - Vast Majority
EV strikes again. Six complete 7"s, full lyrics, amazing liner notes. Leaving the best till last - Dot Vaeth is retrieved from mastering hell and you get a bonus track from the master tape.[HW]
7" - Are We Too Late For The Money? - ??? boot, October 1998
