A quick little post with a 7inch only track from those Orange County punk metal hardcore jokers, Death By Stereo.

Those of you not in the know, the picture to your left is the cover of a single they released on Indecision Records when their second lp (1st for Epitaph), Day of the Death, was released. It had the album track "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Salvation" & the B-Side "Would You Like to Be My Neighbor."

Admittedly, I didn't follow the band very much after "Day of the Death"- those first two albums though, especially "If Looks Could Kill...", are some of my favorite and fun albums to listen to from the last 10 years or so. This little B-side falls somewhere in there with a bit more of an angsty, good friend track that almost conjures memories of 80's movies of friends running a muck and pulling off crazy shit together- cue the montage and play the song. Really though, good and catchy song with some well placed "Hey"'s in the right places and echoed vocals (in my eyyyyyeees) with a more melodic song, especially for the Death.

Happy Monday!

Devil's Night Out 7inch Compilation

So, it looks like Thursdays are going to be Compilation Thursdays, at least for the next few weeks. Expect some good ones for the next month or two.

This little bad boy is a great one from the late 90's. Recorded at the infamous Southern California club, Showcase Theatre in Corona, Ca; it features a who's who of Indecision Records at the time with Ensign, Eyelid, Adamantium, & Death By Stereo, as well as the Missing 23rd (who at the time were on Mankind Records which has strong ties to Indecision).

A real hell of a live comp and on one of the cooler slabs of wax that truly lives up to its devil's night out theme and title. It should be noted that Ensign actually does Revolution's End & First, Last, Only; with Revolution's End featuring a post Tomorrow's Gone & pre-Faded Grey Lance Wells on vocals.

It has to be wondered that somewhere out there, probably in the Indecision vaults, that there

are full sets from this show. It would make sense as the full set of Ensign eventually turned up on their collection CD a few years ago. Anyone from Indecision out there holding those or the Faded Grey, Count Me Out & Over My Dead Body sets that should exist from a Showcase show recorded for the DVD, feel free to share. They would get a proper treatment.
