No Purchase Necessary

Another one of my favorite "christian" punk bands. They weren't around for very long either, existing from about 1998-2000 or 2001. Great band with a great sound. They played alongside other bands like Officer Negative, Headnoise, The Discarded, & Youth in Submission. They self released this 7-song CD-R in '98 or '99. It's hard to believe it's already been about ten years! There's not a single bad song here. Each one is as good as the last, having that nice old school punk sound. Now like all other "christian" punk bands, they talk about christian stuff. But with such a harsh sounding voice, you can barely make out what the hell they're saying! That's one of the reasons why I like this so much. It's not polished or pampered punk, it's old school. It's sloppy, fierce, & direct in all the right places. I know most of you didn't grab that Crashdog album, but please get this one! You will not be disappointed! By the way, if anyone out there has any Youth in Submission, let me know! I can't find them anywhere.

Got an email? Send it to ograwker@msn.com and I'll send you some info on the tape thing. Headnoise shows were some of the best I ever been to, too band they moved th Chicago. I got Spudgun, Lugnut, and some One-21 that I'll post eventually. Had some 90 Pound Wuss on a tape, who knows where the hell that is anymore?! Never heard Worlds Colide.

I sent you my E-mail. Oh, and I messed up the name of the band Worlds Collide-their name was actually World Against World and had some members from Spudgun..real heavy stuff, kinda like Nasea (the NY one).
