 Rating: - An Evolutionary Leap ForwardI found punk rock in an unlikely place at an unlikely time. The early 1990s in rural north western Pennsylvania saw an explosion of angry garage bands and $3 all ages fire hall punk rock shows. In that environment (this is before the dominance of the internet, mind you) I started to be exposed to the kinds of punk rock I'd never heard of. Mixed tapes were like currency and if you weren't trading them you were out of the loop. I had always been into the brute force and anger of the hardcore ...

From the same tribe as Crass,Sub-hum-ans & The Mob. Can't cheat karma is one of those songs you will want to play your friends after hearing it. The rest of the album has great moments. Little stories wrapped in song. Worth buying just for the cover! YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BACK COVER TO GET THE JOKE !! Rating: - A classic.....This is a semi-discography cd compiling all of the Zounds material from the 80's including their full length and EP's. Zounds have come out with 2 EP's in the 00'S that are not included on here. With that said, the Zounds fell under the punk umbrella with their political lyrics however they are much more talented than your average punk band. Their witty lyrics, twangy guitars and Steve Lake's unique vocals made them stand out. It is much easier to describe the Zounds by what they are not. For those who ...

They were unafraid to experiment at a time when punk was beginning to stagnate.They wore their hearts on their sleeves, lyrically and artistically.More subtle than Crass, but just as powerful, this album has been an 'underground' classic for almost 25 years.Just buy the damn thing will ya!! Rating: - The Importance of ZoundsZounds were noticably different than the rest of the Crass circuit, yet had the same punk ideals, and a depressed, driving jangly, new-wavish sound to boot. All the songs on this record form a block of strong central themes and it flows with a great concept. The songs are catchy, and make the whole record worth listening to, and the cover is one of my favorites that I've seen. The "fear is a bum thing, a silly and a dumb thing, but it can be the one thing that kicks us in the dark" sticks long after the ... Read More |
