Government Warning Executed 7” No Way Records Two new ones and a good Battalion of Saints cover. Snotty, pissed off hardcore similar to bands like BOS, Poison Idea, etc. Members of Direct Control. Get it!!! Still available from No Way Records.
No Bullshit Volume Four No Way Records The No Bullshit compilation series has offered a great group of bands over the years. The most recent, volume four, edition is a bit of a step down from previous entries in this series, but still has some exceptional tracks. The primary highlights on this edition include Citizen’s Patrol and Violent Arrest. I need to find out more about those bands.
Honor Role 1982 7″ No Way Records This is a reissue of this Virginia band’s demo from 1982. This is a pretty typical record of the period. If you like early Dischord, Touch & Go, etc you’re gonna really like this. I’m glad this got a reissue, I’ve been looking for a good copy of it for years! Profit Prophets is my favorite song here. While it’s no Religious Vomit, it’s a great eighties style anti-religion/televangelist song. There aren’t enough songs about televangelists anymore.
Government Warning No Way Out 7” No Way Records I really like this record. Government Warning (great name!) play snotty early eighties styled hardcore in the vein of stuff like The Necros & Hated Youth. I could see myself listening to this one a lot. My favorite part of this record is how authentic to the 82′ style it is. I could figure this record for being outtakes from Flex Your Head or an unreleased Touch & Go record. The cover also looks like an early hardcore record. Check them out at the No Way Records website.
