No Thanks?
What about Yes, Thanks?!? This band has blazed trails that are
still burning, as this 1982 demo demonstrates. Frontman Donna
Damage's vocal delivery may leave you hanging. She won't throw you
into the brook for no good reason: every season is spawning
season. It's fast, articulate and well decided hardcore/punk at
its unfiltered best!!!

As an
artifact of the hardcore music scene in New York during the
early to mid 80s this live recording can hardly be surpassed.
The sound is rough and punctuated with ambient noise, Donna
Damage is over done with her straightaway vocals A lot of the
material is from their impossibly rare seven inch. It starts
with a rather mellow "Surfin' Ave. A" then switches gears--and
focus. This is loud and fast as fuck. This band has many cool
songs to share, and it is good for all interested in recent
musical history that these two discs are out.
