Really Red

I'm not too sure exactly what it was about Texas that inspired so many pissed off kids to make so much great music. From bands like The Next, Hates, Huns, & Legionaire's Disease Band to The Dicks, Big Boys, Offenders, MDC, & of course, Really Red. All their records were released on their own CIA records, starting with the Crowd Control 7'' in 1979. The next year came the Modern Needs 7''. 1981 saw the release of both the Despise Moral Majority E.P. & the magnificently untouchable Teaching You The Fear LP. With 1982 came perhaps their best 7'', the New Strings For Old Puppets E.P.

As their final output, the Rest In Pain LP came out in 1985. Released a year after they had already disbanded, this album may not be as great as their last two releases, but it still harvested some great songs. Youth Culture For Sale is still one of my favorite tracks along with Nobody Rules, Personal Hell, & Balance of Terror. On second thought, this album is just as great as their two previous. The only tracks that bring the album down are the agonizing Star Mangled Banner & the unbelivably excruciating Just The Facts, Ma'am. So there you have it, legitimate rips of every record from one the greatest Texan bands ever. (except for Teaching You The Fear which comes from a remastered CD. What are you gonna do?) Enjoy!
