Live at Mc Caferty’s in St. Paul 1983

Civil Defense….After 30 years…. vintage film of Civil Defense has been discovered. They just got out of a recording studio after recording Gun Control… their first EP. They were playing that night with Sonny Vincent and the Extreme at Mc Cafertys in St.Paul, MN 1983.

Old Wild Hearts

Stream the album, then buy it from their Bandcamp page!

Home (video stream)

Home is the bands second album for Epitaph, and it definitely has that Epitaph polish going for it. Strong effort with all the polish you’d expect from a bigger label, yet maintains all the gruff edge you’d expect from OWTH.

This is the full album stream, and currently features videos for 3 tracks.

Sometime To Return – 1988 – Live

Probably the most commercially successful band to come out of the Minneapolis punk scene, eclipsing Husker Du & The Replacements. After all, they never played a Presidential Inaugural Ball!

Still. I’ve always been a fan of the early Soul Asylum stuff. Every since the mega-hits of the 90s they have pretty much been written off as one of the anchors of the MPLS punk scene in the early days. But go back and listen to those Twintone and A&M albums and you’ll see that it still stands up even into the mid-2010s.

This Is How I Kiss

I know nothing about these guys, but they keep asking to be added, so here you go. Straight out of Robinsdale (home of the late Kurt Hennig).
