If you live in the Vancouver area, chances are you've probably seen this LP at one of the local record stores. It's a live compilation from CiTR's Shindig battle of the bands, which has been a yearly event since 1983. Past winners include 3 Inches Of Blood (2001) and Brand New Unit (1992). There's a good mix of styles on this record, with Death Sentence and NG3 representing the punk end of the spectrum. How Death Sentence lost to the Nerve Tubes (who's members would later go on to form the Odds, famous for 'Heterosexual Man') is beyond me.

ReplyDeleteIf memory serve me correctly, there was a bit of a riot at the show where Death Sentence got eliminated.
ReplyDeleteShindig, as much as I loved it over the years, had more than the occasional travesty.
