Dreary punk from Wolverhampton courtesy of 7th PLAGUE and their second demo tape. "Brave Face" could easily have been the blueprint for a band who planned to move onto mainstream schlock, but fortunately it is followed by the ominous guitar and sinister laugh that starts "Painful Death" and things only look up from there. "In The Name Of Progress" is a single-worthy UK punk burner drenched in saxophone, it's followed with "Frenzy," that could be the unsung flip side of that non-existeant single, and then they mix in some live recordings (including a rougher/better version of "Brave Face") including the killer "For Kingdom & Country." I know fuckall about the band, but expect their first demo in the coming weeks.
I used to post tapes from my home state of Oklahoma every Sunday. I stopped. I still have more gems, but if I keep up this once a week shit then you, my valued followers, will have to slog through SLUGFUZLE tapes, maybe even some more BLEMISH, and no one wants that. My pal Ross has a great Oklahoma only blog set up here, and I highly recommend checking it out...FACE FIRST EP went up most recently, and that thing fucking rips. Cheers...
