ISM- I think I love you 7″ (S.I.N., USA, 1983)
NY’s ISM destroying the Partridge Family’s 1970s hit. And it doesn’t get any better than this! This is best bad music.
Although this 7″ was fairly succesful, getting lots of airplay, it was banned from many record distributers and shops throughout the USA and rumor has it, many copies never made it through to good ol’Europe neither. The reason is, you guessed it, the great sarcastic picture sleeve.
Check the blog for more on ISM (”A Diet for the Worms” LP). And now sit back and relax and start downloading ….

This is a classic EP and if there were a KBD hall of fame, it would be in it. I’ve never heard their Queen Jap EP so if you have it, could you please post it?

I bought this single for the cover alone cuz I’d never heard of ‘em. I traded it away years later, so thanks for the memories!

I used to have a “Best Of..” CD by these guys which featured mostly material off the “Constantinople” LP. Didn’t exactly float my boat and I traded it after scoring this 7″. Did this band ever put out more punk rockin’ stuff like this?

Great record that promised what would soon to come: Diet For The Worms LP. I wouldn’t recommend other stuff then this 7″ and their Diet… LP.

[...] Repost from September 4. 2006. Added complete LP download in fresh hi-quality rip. Just got news that no official reissue is in sight yet due to personal problems. So in the meantime, download this, burn it onto a CD-R, turn up loud and enjoy one of the most original LPs from the Hardcore Punk sector (and beyond). Just check out “Put on your War Paint” and go berserk! If you also want to hear the totally abrassive second 7″ of ISM, you should go there. [...]
