"Death Party [Live] [Remaster]" (10/19/2004) Hardcore/Punk Gun Club, Sympathy For The Record IndustryIncludes seven bonus tracks. Gun Club: Patricia Morison, Jim Duckworth, Jimmy Uiana (bass guitar); Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Texacala Jones, Dee Pop. Personnel: Jeffrey Lee Pierce (vocals, guitar, piano); Jim Duckworth (guitar); Dee Pop (drums, percussion); Texacala Jones (background vocals). Audio Remasterer: John Vestman. Recording information: Blank Tapes Studio (1983); Geneva, Switzerland (1983). Photographers: Jeffrey Lee Pierce; Jim Duckworth; Phil Marino; David Arnoff. Gun Club's Death Party EP was issued in 1983 between the mixing and mastering disaster that was Miami, the band's second album, and the nearly sublime Las Vegas Story. The recording also features a new and extremely short-lived lineup that featured guitarist Jim Duckworth (Panther Burns), drummer Dee Pop (Bush Tetras), a friend of his on bass named Jimmy Joe Uliana, and Pierce's then girlfriend Linda "Texacala" Jones on backing vocals. The five tracks could have been outtakes from Miami, powerful, dark rock of disillusionment, drug abuse, and warped sexuality. The playing here is somewhat pedestrian though certainly able. The pathos on the Gun Club's best records is missing here, but the quality of the songwriting makes up for it some. Certainly fans will want this. [In 2004, Sympathy for the Record Industry reissued the EP on compact disc with seven bonus tracks from a live performance on Radio Geneva. What's notable about it is Pierce's between-song banter, which is entertaining, snotty, and obviously intoxicated, and he plays piano on every tune. This gig is also the first recorded performance of bassist Patricia Morrison (aka Pat Bag from the L.A. punk quartet the Bags) with the band. (She would remain for years before leaving to join the Sisters of Mercy.) The material from the radio gig contains three tunes from Death Party, covers of "Run Through the Jungle" the old roots rock nugget "Heebie Jeebies," and Lewis Allan's "Strange Fruit," as well as a scorching rendition of "Fire of Love."] ~ Thom Jurek

"Peckin' Party [EP]" (01/06/1994) Hardcore/Punk Southern Culture on the Skids, Safe HouseThis six-cut EP features three studio tracks from Southern Culture on the Skids: a re-recording of "Eight Piece Box" with Jim Spake sitting in on sax, a cover of Link Wray's "Run Chicken Run," and a new tune, "Kudzu Limbo" (which, while mostly instrumental, does feature the memorable encouragement to dancers, "How low can you GROW?"). The real excitement is in the second half, which features three numbers recorded during one of SCOTS' always-memorable live shows at Chicago's fabled Lounge Ax. This was the second recorded go-round for both "Cicada Rock" and "Daddy Was a Preacher But Mama Was a Go-Go Girl," but "Walleyed" is one of Rick Miller's better guitar showcases. The performances are sweaty and emphatic, leaving no doubt about this band's power to start a party on stage. Given the amount of material that can be found elsewhere, Peckin' Party is more for fans than anyone else, but if you like Southern Culture on the Skids at all, you'll want to give it a listen, if only for the live material. ~ Mark Deming

"Don't Know How to Party" (05/18/1993) Hardcore/Punk Mighty Mighty Bosstones (The), MercuryThe Mighty Mighty Bosstones: Dicky Barrett (vocals); Nate Albert (guitar); Tim "Johnny Vegas" Burton, Kevin Lenear (saxophone); Dennis Brockenborough (trombone); Joe Gittleman (bass); Joe Sirois (drums); Ben Carr (background vocals). Additional personnel: Mike Teelucksingh (vocals); Brian Dwyer (trumpet); Don McLoughlin (piano); Molly Ackerman, Matt Rice, Darryl Jenifer (background vocals). Recorded at Dreamland Studios, Woodstock, New York. An attempt to mainstream the Bosstones' sound and accentuate their metal influences backfires somewhat here. The band's connection to ska has sometimes seemed tenuous at best, but on Don't Know How to Party, the ska is reduced to a mere stylistic quirk punctuating a set of essentially heavy metal songs, which mutes the band's originality. "Holy Smoke" and a cover of the Stiff Little Fingers' "Tin Soldiers" do manage to make an impact, and "Someday I Suppose" is recycled (in an inferior version), but the lackluster songwriting renders this album necessary for diehards only. ~ Steve Huey A raucous mix of metal and ska, Don't Know How to Party is one of the fiercest party records ever made. ~ David Jehnzen

"Suicide Party [PA]" (01/10/2006) Hardcore/Punk xBishopx, Ferret Music (USA)xBishopx: Mean Pete (vocals); Christopher Mylife, Sambone (guitar); Xaldox (bass guitar); Peter Pippen (drums). Personnel: The Artist Formally Known as Vince (vocals). Audio Mixer: Jonathan Nunez. Recording information: Southern Noise, Miami, FL. First views of Suicide Party's twisted kiddy cartoons and obvious song titles might have some people charging Fort Lauderdale's Bishop with putting too much emphasis on their black-humored, often silly lyrics in place of the music itself. But that's maybe just as well since hardcore's innate sonic limitations pretty much require a band have something to say -- be it serious, comical, whatever. Bishop sure try, and whether it's anti-bad habit harangues like "Wreck," "Ingest," and "(Life Is One Big) Suicide Party," accusatory tirades such as "Old Habits," "Throwaway," and "Next Big Thing" (featuring the rather clever line "You never cared about a f**king thing but being seen and being scene"), or droll ditties like "Eat S**t" and the self-explanatory, four-second-long "Go F**k Yourself," said amusing touches definitely help to offset the excessive preaching inspired by their straight edge mentality. In fact, for a band that claims to have formed for sheer fun, Bishop spend a lot of energy getting on people's cases, and since they also don't ultimately come up with a single original sounding piece of music during this entire half-hour debut, words are really all they got -- that and the mindless adrenaline rush of the mosh pit. Average in every sense of the word. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

"TV Party [EP]" (10/16/1990) Hardcore/Punk Black Flag (Punk), SSTBlack Flag: Dez Cadena (vocals, guitar); Henry Rollins (vocals); Greg Ginn (guitar); Chuck Dukowski (bass); Bill Stevenson, Emil (drums). Personnel: Dez Cadena (vocals, guitar); Henry Rollins (vocals); Greg Ginn (guitar); Emil, Bill Stevenson (drums). Photographer: Glen E. Friedman. Hindsight usually emphasizes the more strident, aggressive aspects of Black Flag's career. The image of Henry Rollins' muscular, tattooed physique and glowering face as he stalked the stage screaming and spitting defiant and often angry lyrics, backed by Greg Ginn's screaming, almost violent, metal-edged guitar, is the first thing that usually comes to mind. And so sometimes we forget that especially in the early days, Black Flag could be pretty damn goofy. Many of the band's early songs were silly/satiric sketches of suburban California life, but none were more ridiculous than the Ramones-meet-the-Dictators 1981 single "TV Party." Ginn's odes to cheap beer, potato chips, and a remote control--complete with shouted backing vocals calling out the names of favorite shows--are simultaneously celebratory and sardonic, and the band's playing is as light and poppy as ever. The two remaining tracks are more standard hardcore-era Black Flag tunes.

"License to Party, Vol. 2" (12/10/2002) Hardcore/Punk Various Artists, Rumble Records (Germany)Performers include: Frantic Flintstones, Quakes, Demented Are Go, Frenzy, Blue Velvet, Griswalds. License to Party, Vol. 2 offers 15 swaggering cover songs done up in high psychobilly and rockabilly revival style, covering most of the relevant sub-subgenres along the way. The Frantic Flintstones get things started with a surprisingly heartfelt take on the traditional "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia," but any subtlety is forgotten after the Quakes' trashy run through "Paint It Black" and Demented Are Go's awesome, super-sloppy version of Devo's "Mongoloid." Milwaukee's Psycho Bunnies (who, for the record, refer to their sound as "thrashbilly") turn in a raving "Jolene," while the Razorbacks' "Twisting By the Pool" suggests what the Stray Cats would sound like covering Dire Straits. License to Party is definitely a hoot all the way through, but MVP honors have to go to Meantraitors. The Russian psychobilly combo's "Wild Thing" is thoroughly unrecognizable, which of course makes it incredibly entertaining. Meantraitors aren't the only international representatives here -- Scum Rats and Splash Bones hail from Germany, while the Taggy Tones call Denmark home. License to Party will certainly be that if you like your music loud, your beer sudsy, and your leather black. Those listeners unfamiliar with these party favors will likely strike a pose similar to the square depicted on the disc's front cover, who is left to ponder how he came to be surrounded by rockabilly dudes and a hard-blowin' band. ~ Johnny Loftus

"Death Party" (11/07/1997) Hardcore/Punk Gun Club, New Rose RecordsPersonnel: Jeffrey Lee Pierce (vocals); Ward Dotson (guitar); Terry Graham (drums).
