Acrid / Left for Dead "Hacked to Pieces" LP


These two bands did a split with each other early on. The record was cut in a buzzsaw shape and it was jagged. I mean you could hurt yourself with it if you weren't careful. No Idea released the split in multiple pressings and the pressing information which may help figure out what you have:

- 1st Pressing: 1,100 Gray (7/31/1997)
- 2nd Pressing: 1,266 Pink (11/30/1997)
- 3rd Pressing: 104 Yellow, 102 Gray, 104 Blue, 104 Red, 103 White, 104 Orange, 100 Pink, 104 Baby Blue, 108 Urine, 195 Green (Total Pressing = 1,128) (3/31/1998)
- 4th Pressing: 1,024 Grayish Green (8/31/1998)
- 5th Pressing: 322 Opaque Purple, 314 Black (6/30/2000)

Acrid's songs are:

1. Fear and Trembling

AK 47 "Now You'll Know" cassette


This is the first release by this new Victoria outfit called AK 47. The band was put together by Tony Goluza and features former comrades from Hudson Mack, Goatboy, Nothing to Lose, and Section 46. I have not heard this but it follows in the tradition of cassette only releases by Section 46 / Nothing to Lose bands that Tony has been involved in. In fact, it seems to be true of the Victoria scene, where a lot of it has only been documented in cassette only releases. This was recorded in the first nine months of AK 47 being a band. The songs on here are:
1. Red Sun
2. Tirana
3. Cultural Revolution
4. Mumia
5. One Out Of Three
6. No More
7. Beliefs
8. Today's The Day
9. A Bullet
10. We Will Free Ourselves
11. Oppression
12. Another Time
13. AK47
14. Sellout
15. Time's Up
16. Where Are You
17. This World
18. Doesn't Mean A Thing
19. Years
20. Re-Education Camp #7
The band has posted the lyrics up at "Now You'll Know".
