V/A Who Cares LP


Excellent compilation of mostly Long Beach bands I guess. Pretty hard to find these days. The most wellknown names are Shattered Faith and the Cheifs. Political Crap has Duane Peters on vocals, later wellknown with his band U.S. Bombs. AKA are my least favourite of the bunch; a bit too poppy for my taste.
This album was released on the small label American Standard in 1981. Other releases I know on this label are the Primal Danse 12" (more postpunk sounding) and the 'Criminals' LP of Joneses.

1. AKA - Tomorrow's Theme
2. Cheifs - No Justice
3. Cheifs - Riot Squad
4. Shattered Faith - Discontent
5. Suspects - Baby Maybe
6. Suspects - I Had Fun
7. Civil Disobedience - Confused
8. Political Crap - Rejected
9. Civil Disobedience - Too Drunk Last Night
10. Suspects - Hollywood Nightmare
11. AKA - Liza Jane
12. Cheifs - Scrapped
13. Shattered Faith - Trilogy
14. Civil Disobedience - Campaign Promises
15. Suspects - Make Me
16. Shattered Faith - I Love America
17. Political Crap - On Your Own
18. Political Crap - Slow Death

wow I searched a long time for this! you can't buy it and nobody until now has made it available for dl. I even tried to put it together myself but could only locate Suspects and Shattered Faith. Shattered Faith sells their stuff, and all the Suspects songs (same as here) are available for dl at their myspace.
