The Rest - s/t LP


And here's another nice one on Destiny Records. The sole album of The Rest. They also appeared on a few comps. on Destiny as well.
This album was released in 1986 and contains a cover of the Avengers called 'We Are The One'. 'Your Eyes' is a sad lovesong (not very usual for a punkband). 'Every Sperm' is taken from Monty Python.
The song 'Midnight Wanker' is one I can relate to. Once I had to go through a park in the evening to get home. This park is wellknown as a gay meeting place. I wanted to take the shortcut instead of walking around it. Suddenly I saw some person running besides me with his pants in his arms. Further I had to pass a large building with pillars , so I knew that the freak would stand behind one of those pillars. And yes I was right. He was jerking off like a maniac! I sometimes wonder what goes on in some people's head.

Thanks for that one! Is there any chance to find the 12" of a band called "Der Riss"? I think the 12" was called "All they do is images" but i'm not quite sure about it.
They had a cut on a Weird System compilation album if i remember correctly?

"They All Do Image" it's called actually. Don't have this one. Sorry DD. They appeared on "Life Is A Joke 2" but only on the extra LP which I don't have.

Wow! I thought I was the only other person in the world to own this record, but obviously not! I think this sounds like NO ALLEGIANCE & actually might contain a couple of members. A very unknown band & a pretty good one, too. The singer seems to think he's a vampire judging by the photos on the sleeve & lyric sheet.

An amazing album! Every track just explodes with power. I love the accented vocals on this. Good choice, CG.

Never knew Der Riss had a record out, DD. I remember they had a track called 'Images' on...er...some cassette comp maybe? So long ago.

Has anybody ever put together a Destiny discography? It seems like every month I find a new record on that label (such as this great one) which I never heard of before.
