Infidels - 9:25 and seven seconds

   a re-post, by request, new rips and scans. Originally posted, 11- 16-2008, Enjoy!
   The Infidels were an Youngstown, Ohio four piece, that formed around 1982. Their first single, "Mad About That Girl" was released in 1985 on Jim's Records. In all, they released: 3 full lengths, a mini lp, along with a hand full of singles. This was the bands first full length, and a long time favorite. I'm giving you the option between flac and mp3, rather than make one huge download.

Line Up

Pete Drivere -  lead guitar, vocals
John Hlumyk -bass, vocals
John Koury -   drums, vocals
David Lisko -   guitar, vocals

Nervous Melvin and the Mistakes EP

    Nervous Melvin and the Mistakes, were / are a Louisville, Kentucky four piece, formed in 1981. They released this EP, and a mini LP; both on the Hit A Note Records label. There's a stamped paper sleeve that exists for this one, unfortunately, mines not one of them. I believe the bands still around, with Todd Bensenhaver being the only original. In 1990, a CD was released titled, " Thumb Whack" on their own Melvitone Records Label. Copies of the CD and the earlier releases are still around to be had, if you look.
