Kops for Christ were a hardcore band that started up after the brake up of One Blood and Crisis of Faith. Paul Abrash got the band together and played drums in this band as well. Pat Laso sang in the band and this was before the Blundermen started up. Shawn Blondin was a promoter and animal rights activist in peterbrorough and he moved down to the city and played bass in this band. And a guy named Pete was the guitarist. The name of the band comes from a real christian cop group that exists within the force. An aside note is that the acronym was a reinterpretation of the chicken chain, which most of these guys were vegetarians. This recording happened on December 6, 1992 by Glen Talsky and was released a year later. The record was released by Gusher Records. Songs on here are:
1. No Bras, No Choices
2. Serve to Oppress
3. The Nuclear Nightmare
4. Receds for Our Children
5. A Fascist by Any Other Name ...
6. Free Palestine
7. Conspiracy in Action
8. One That Worked
Hey--I was the guitarist in KFC. I believe the origin story is something like this: previous incarnation was Decline of Reason with Iza as singer (we did a few shows I think with Spitboy, Terror Cake, etc). We broke up and reformed with Pat Laso as singer. I think Shawn lived with Adam who was in Dirty Bird. It's all a bit of a haze, but it was a great time!
ReplyDeleteI'll also add: yes, we were vegetarians or vegans, the EP was released with Gusher zine (not sure if that ever really came out), and I remember working on the cover of that EP with an old PowerPC Mac Quadra, 16MB of RAM and Pagemaker--how times change!
