Dillinger Four & The Strike

Rebels Choice Great split from my former roommate THD records.  Two great bands, lots of solid rock.  EVeryone knows D4, but shortly before (or after, I forget) this split 7" was released, THe Strike moved to Chicago and put out…

Assassin

Metal Massacre Assassin billed themselves as "The Metal Knights".  Cheezy 80’s speed metal band.  Typical balls in a vice metal.  I’m told this band evolved into T.H.C., which will be posted later this month. Get it here .

Soilent Green

January 1988 Demo As you might have guess, I finally got my cassette deck working, so I could archive all the old demo tapes I’ve collected over the years. 6 song demo recorded in January of 1988.  I knew Dennis…

Impact Wrench

SIBD Demo 1991 I really don’t know much about this 3 piece thrash metal band from St. Paul.  It was either given to me because I had a record label, or because of cable access shows I used to do. …

Scooby Don’t

Better than the last This is a great record! Most people know Scooby Don’t because it was Billy Moresette’s pre-Dillinger Four band.  That’s unfortunate, because Scooby Don’t did a lot for the punk scene.  Their house, "The 35th St. Entry",…

Libido Boyz

Compilation:  Things I stole EP Great compilation featuring an awesome track from one of my favorite late-80’s/early 90’s punk bands, the Libido Boyz!  This is a different version of Mind’s Eye then I’ve heard before, so that’s a bonus! Get…

Blind Approach

No music this time, just a great interview with Matt Henderson from Blind Approach.  Well worth the read. Read Part One here . Read Part Two here .

Ten Cent Fun

Compilation: American Ska-thic I don’t normally post compilations unless there is a strong Minnesota tie, but I was digging through my old cassette collection and stumbled on a demo of Ten Cent Fun from 1993. After hours of trying to…
