I'm so happy to finally have this demo! It's been many a year, but it's finally come into my possession. It's rad and well worth a download. Thank you, my fellow transplanted North American who also now lives in Africa.
Featuring future members of Seaweed, Alphabet Swill play some decent late eighties punkage and is definitely worth a listen.
I wish I could blame my lack of blog related activity on the hot season that has inflicted so much discomfort on the denizens of my humble Zambian metropolis, but that would be a lie. Naw, I’m just not that committed to Thought Crime. No biggie though; a post once or twice or month suits me fine.
1990 was a magical time for me. Lots of things were good. My punk rock band just started, I skipped school all of the time, and punk was still mostly underground. Long gone are those days. If only I could skip stuff all the time now. Alas, ‘tis not to be, what with responsibility and all.
Anyhow, in honour of 1990, here is a record released that very year by Assault, who were, I think, from California. The second side of this record just rips, while the other is a bit, I don’t know, contemplative. So if you like contrasting styles, then this just might be for you.
I’m going to dream about skipping stuff now.
Image is from the Lockjaw blog. Since I couldn’t find any images for this record, I decided to use the Dutch metal band Assault for this post. If you want to hear their demos, go Lockjaw

Download it now! Assault
I don’t know much about this band except they were from Australia. All I can say for sure is that I really dig the singer’s voice and the music is snappy punk stuff. Enjoy!
Oops, it’s been a while. I’d like to say I was doing something cool, like hunting giraffes, but that would be a lie. I did see many an elephant though in the Lower Zambezi.
