Fang - Landshark!

USA
1983
Punk Rock, Hardcore Punk

Thoughts: The vocals are surprisingly clear and melodic for punk, especially considering how lo-fi the rest of it sounds. I don't consider this particularly hardcore, but it certainly is sad, unlike a lot of the high-energy political punk of the time. More stuff about rape, junkies, and zombies than bitching about Reagan. I mean, Reagan bitching is there, but it doesn't dominate. A lot of punk bands take the world's problems on the chin and fight back. This EP is more brooding, talking about unendurable pain and suicide, like they're wedding themselves to Death.

Release info: Released on vinyl in 1983 (Boner / FANG 1, USA) and then re-issued on 180-gram vinyl in 2014 (Boner / BR01, USA).
