Assault: Race To Destruction (1990)

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.

Aversion Therapy: Aversion Therapy (1991)

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!

Rat Pack: Ice Cream, Acid & Cigarettes (1989)

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.

Next up for your listening pleasure is Rat Pack. I bought this record solely because of its title. It really is such a rad one. Enjoy.
