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…
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 .
