Wadge / Praparation-H "What Is Thy Bidding, My Master?" split ep


Blastbeat fury right from the opening track "Trauma to the Body". And Paul's rapid fire delivery never really stops. There is a gun theme to this release if you couldn;t tell by the cover. Mike Pyette of Mr. Nobody helps out on vocals as does Brad Park. This is grindcore to the core. The songs found on here include:

1. Trauma to the Body
2. Retaliation
3. Curse the World
4. Like Shedding Skin
5. Urban Warfare
6. Two Fisted Motherfucker
7. Mo Justification Needed

Praparation-H from Cincinnati were on the flip side of this. They were a three piece and the recording had a tin can production sound to the whole thing. It is like listening to a lo fi recording, except the band is a grind inspired. Their songs are:

1. Elvis Intro (Return to Sender)
2. Hood in Head
3. Years Go By
4. Angry Guy
5. 99 Cent Cop
6. Another Politician's Song
7. What is Thy Bidding my Master?

This split came out on Regurgitated Semen Records as RSR 016.

Gus / Gus "Floriduh vs. Canaduh" ep

No Idea Records knew of a band from Florida called Gus. It makes sense as the label is based in Gainesville, Florida. They came across the band from Victoria, BC so they decided to put together a split between the two bands with the same name. The BC recorded two songs at the Rat's Nest in October 1994. The songs were:
1. Lettuce is Dead
2. Snivling
The band from Florida are from Hollywood and they recorded at Studio 13 on January 1995. The songs on here are:
1. Organ Donor Potential
2. Dirt Bike
The record was pressed twice in two different presses of 300 copies. The first pressing is on black vinyl and the second press is on a Purple-Grey marble.
