Tomatos pollution Sopranos

Here's some old random New Jersey bullshit I downloaded. Some of it was released on good old Mutha Records.

Teenage Depression - Skank or Die 7"

Hey, buy this gnarly thrash record and find out everything these guys hate: anarchy punks, speed punks, Henry Rollins, frat boys, rabbits, moms, commies, Reagan, and probably themselves. However, they do love "Kate", the lucky girl. Music's pretty cool.
-Jeff Bale, from MRR, 1984


Send Help - You Don't Fit 7"

This is a real spiffy debut. "You Don't Fit" is a supercharged punk rock song with an irresistable chorus, "Suburbia" is a slow, sarcastic attack on middle-class superficiality, and "Sex With Sheep" is one of the year's best funnypunk efforts. Impressive all around.
-Jeff Bale, from MRR #10, 1983


Public Disturbance - s/t 12"

Public Disturbance have a somewhat incoherent stop/go semi-thrash style. The faster songs often sound thin and occasionally degenerate into mediocrity, but the band's slower material ("Caged", "Intro" and "Russel's Ramp") sticks in your head. Overall, though, this release seems a bit premature; these guys need to develop more.
-Jeff Bale, from MRR #10


Fatal Rage - s/t 12"

New Jersey hardcore punk at its best, in my eyes the best Mutha release. Catchy and melodic, still rough and wild; production is a bit weak, though. [9] (TK)
