Along with the original (promo-) version of “The Future Looks bright”, this is maybe the rarest release on the legendary Posh Boy label from LA. THE SIREN features three bands: RED CROSS (their entire first 12″EP), 391 (a mystery band too . please fill in!!) and the phenomenal SPITTING TEETH.
As soon as you, who never have heard SPITTING TEETH before, will start listenting to the first song “2nd Generation” you will, I’m sure, think “FUCKING JESUS – WHAT THIS?!!!”. Be assured I thought the same when I first heard the three tracks of this band (wich was pretty late in the 90s actually; the record seemed to be pretty much a mystery as a whole). But be assured: As a woman (probably man) of taste, you haven’t heard shit! The last of the three – “Destruction” – will destroy you! Unheard of before intensity, a singer and an atmosphere that puts SPITTIN’ TEETH at the very top of early HC bands – it’s so fucking great! Uaaarrghhh!!!!
If you happen to know more of SPITTIN TEETH, please share your knowledge! And Posh Boy – please please re-release this!
Listen to:

PS: Go here for more SPITTIN’ TEETH.

I’ve only ever heard one song by 391 entitled, “The Kids Gonna Do It”. It was on one of the Hyped To Death comps and it’s pretty good. I know they released a s/t 12″ on Posh Boy in 1982 but beyond that I could find no other info. I’ve seen the record on eBay before but never got around to picking it up. Next time i won’t make the same mistake.

Thanks Mike! Never heard the mentioned 12″, nor heard of it. Will keep my eyes open too!
“The kids gonna do it” is from The Siren comp.

391 was a follow-up band for a couple of the Nuns, specifically the Jeffs.

spittin’ teeth, that is
[Reply]
wow… that’s awesome. Any more info? I just played “2nd Generation” on my radio show and did a Google to see if anyone was talking about the band. I play the song once a year in the summer since I have it on a mix tape I made in the summer of 1980 (yeah, I know–a bit odd). The 391 stuff is good as well.. I first heard them the same summer, as well. “You Bother Me” is a good snotty punk song.

Great to have you here, Al. Suburban Voice used to be one of my top fanzines back in the day!

Hi, there’s any possibility to repost these songs again? The link is missed. I got this LP in my adolescence (in the 80′s) and I don’t know what hell I did with this, but I lov Spittin Teeth and I can’t live without this music. Please man, help meeeee!
[Reply]
Spittin’ Teeth 7″ (from 1980) up on ebay for grabs now. It’s not as throughoutly great as the tracks on here, but those of you with cash might want to buy it (a ryebread auction).

The entire Siren LP is posted here on the Factor Zero blog of the guy above named Strongos- I guess he found his copy that he said above was lost:

He also threw in one track off of the 391 4-song 12″EP and two “bonus” Spittin’ Teeth tracks which is their 7″. The site is in Portuguese so get your Google Translator ready to go.

What a lousy rip this is. I don’t understand why people can do so much harm to music. It’s unfair and a crime against boh humanity and nature.

Saw a shrink in SLC for awhile who played bass for Spittin Teeth.

Haha, thanks for the info.

I personally found the s/t better. And on this, I preferred “Prostitute” to “Destruction.”
