MODERN WARFARE- No. 2 7"EP (Bemisbrain Records, USA, 1981)
And here’s the follow up – MODERN WARFARE’s 2nd and last 7″. 3 songs which are flawless übermusic! “No Passion” makes me want to do ugly things to ugly people.
The singer and guitarist Jimmy Bemis later founded Enigma Records.
Rumor has it , there’s an LP full of unreleased material. Please Mr. Bemis – release it at once!
This 7″ has two different sleeves – the one sponsored by the American Beefsteak Industry and another one. Labels on my copy are handwritten; guess it’s a pretty small press run this had.

Jimmy Bemis’ first record label was Bemisbrain, which released the excellent “Hell Comes to Your House” compilation.

Much better than the 1st 7″ IMO.
Always dug the cover art.

Wow! I’ve loved the MW comp tracks (American Youth Report, Hell comes..)since the early 80’s but never heard the EP’s due to their rareity. I have to tell you how much I appreciate the effort you put into this site, especially considering the recent demise of your peers. A whole album worth of Modern Warfare tracks would be an incredible present to many!

My favorite band after the Germs. Nothing’s Left was a Rodney “hit”.
Only ever saw one listing for a show for Modern Warafe, they rarely played! Never saw ‘em.
Tried buggin Dionysus to track down Bevis and release a CD.
There are two versions of Hell Comes To Your House 1, the red cover US, and the grey cover overseas version. The only track difference are the Modern Warfare cuts!, as the grey release has different cuts I have still yet to hear!
Aside from the comps listed above, they are also on one of the Life is lps.
How come they weren’t heavily booted on the KBD comps?

The grey european version of Hell Comes To Your House contained just one song from MW, a rather slow one called “Asphalt Dynasty”, which was quite good but not as great as their other stuff.

Would love to hear the song on the euro version of “Hell comes to your house”! Are you sure they were on one of the “Life is” comps? I have two or three of them but don’t remember MW being on one of em. But they were on “American Youth Report” with “One for all”.

Sorry dont’ recall. I think it’s the same one that has Redd Kross doing Blue Cheer Out of Focus with Dez singing.
My copy is in a box in the basement, and I lost my soulseek MP3s of the LP.
I remember those LPs well, the guy that put them out, Kail, greg Kail maybe?, was in Mood of Defiance and Anti.

It’s on the 3rd one, Life Is Boring So Why Not Steal This Record from 1983 but the track sounds like it’s from the same session as the 2nd 7ep to me (just like the one on the AYR comp.) but not as good.
