Scandal (Comic Book Hero Single)

a re-post, by request, new rips. Originally posted, 1- 22-2011, Enjoy!

   Here's a great little record, from a band I know nothing about. It was the second release from Local Records, an independent label based in Tottenham, who mainly released Reggae, and, Dance records. I can only assume the band was from that area as well.

    Hardknox were a Connecticut five piece. I'm guessing they formed, late 70's. Two singles and a E.P. were released over a seven year span, before disbanding. A disc titled " Hardknox Redux" was released in 2020. Here's a website, where you can learn more about the band and purchase their music.

   Happy Halloween! Been a while since I posted a garage record. Here's one of my favorites.
   The Crimson Shadows were a Swedish 5 piece, around from 84 to 86. They self releases 2 singles before disbanding. After the split, an EP titled "Tales From The Crimson Shadows" and a Mini LP titled "Hangin' Out!" were released. Two more releases immerged years later in 94 and 2010. If you want to learn more, I found a couple of Facebook Pages.Check them out, these guys spawned allot of cool bands.

Punk Rock Museum - Las Vegas

    Over the summer, I had an opportunity, to spend a little time in Vegas, so I couldn't leave, without checking out the Punk Rock Museum. There's an impressive amount of memorabilia to see, so if you go, I recommend carving out a decent block of time. As you might expect, the majority of artifacts are from the US, and some larger UK bands. Walking through, trying to take it all in; I couldn't help but think how organized, and sterile the environment was. Far, from the primitive, chaotic, origins, most of the stuff came from. I was hoping, I might strike up a conversation, with someone knowledgeable. I talked to a guy for a while, but unfortunately, he didn't know much. Overall, there's lots to look at, and I never felt rushed. They have lots of records, placed in the display cases, throughout the museum. I realized, I have a copy of nearly every record they had. I think I may have a sickness, lol! Anyway, I'd recommend checking it out, if you're in the area. Here's their web site.

Indiscreet - American Nightmare

   Indiscreet were a San Francisco bay area four piece that formed in the late 70's. Far as I know, this was they're only record. There's not allot of info on these guys. I found This Site, with a band bio, announcing a re-union show in 2020. I also found a cool live set Here.
