One of the punk era's most unjustly ignored bands. Dreamy and complex at a time when aggressive and stripped down were the norm, the Soft Boys presented an alternative before that term became a marketing strategy. This is a 38-song tour through the brief and furious life of the Soft Boys. The songs here, penned by frontman Robyn Hitchcock, bear the traits and quirks Hitchcock continued to explore throughout his hefty subsequent output. The set includes early demos for their full-length debut A Can Of Bees, live performances and selected tracks from all of their official releases.

1. Daddy Roots - Bongo Dub
Dog Faced Hermans were a five-piece band whose style could be described as anarcho-punk incorporating folk and noise influences as well as unorthodox instrumentation. Formed in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1986... they eventually relocated to Amsterdam after a close association with the Ex resulted in a joint tour of Europe, a split cassette and "Stonestamper's Song," a tremendous collaborative single recorded under the name Ex Faced Hermans.

The Inner Terrestrials have been together since 1994 and manage to fuse all their influences from Crass, to Radical Dance Faction(mixing hardcore, folk-punk, dub) in such a blindingly brilliant and insanely catchy manner accompanied by radical politics and a positive message. Formed in south-east London by J (vocals & guitars) and Fran (bass & vocals) who teamed up with drummer Paco of Conflict. playing live at festivals, squat parties/centers, demo's and protest sites all over the UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Poland, Czech, Switzerland, Austria & Spain.
DKs need little introduction, they opened up the more interesting side of american hardcore for me and released some seminal albums via their own alternative tentacles label. Dead Kennedys’ songs mix the deliberately shocking lyrics of punk with a humorous, acerbic, satirical, and sarcastic left-wing commentary on current social and political issues. This boot was originally released as 'Off The Rails In Phnom Penh( Limited To 300 copies on red vinyl. Soundboard recording.)' and no doubt reissued a number of times on cd, this copy on slut records.
