Man, had heard the Lifestyle EP and was yearning for more. This is awesome! They way punk was meant to be played, snotty punk vocals, the bass lines are actually really catchy, and raw!

Give you a break? C’mon you know the old adage, if you can’t take it then don’t dish it out?
By the way, cool website.

My old was not called after an Amebix song, it just had the same name as a certain song. It didn’t copy any of Amebix music or style. But who cares about Wankys, gimme a break.

Yes i agree, calling your band the wankys is very poor, on par with naming your band after an amebix song and stealing all your music from napalm death.
talk about pot and kettle!

thanks for this gnarly post mr erich. every time you rip old japanese stuff i get a new favorite record. the contrast of putting “this is dakota song” next to a track like “damaging noise” is righteous. i won’t play the game of this-record’s-better-than-that record, but i think this lends itself to oral sex way more than GISM :-]
