Mexican Power Authority "Haiku Gesundheit" CD

This was the third and final release I did on Ragamuffin Soldier Records. This release came out in a CD and a double LP format. The vinyl contained 17 additional songs. This release was a collection of the band's first three releases which were originally released in cassette format. Mexican Power Authority are a band from Victoria that feature Kev Smith of the legendary Neos and Jason Flowers who is the person behind Surpeme Echo that has been doing all these great re-issues. I have heard the band described as a cross between Napalm Death and John Coltraine. They can be genre expending to say the least, but these early three releases contain a lot of the Neos flavour.

The Swarm "Old Blue Eyes is Dead" ep

Sinatra had just died. The Swarm did a song for him in a power violence tradition called 5-15-98. Chris started the Swarm after Left for Dead broke up and the band had basically the core of what would become the Cursed. So Chris was the singer, Christian and Adam played guitar, lou played bass and Mike played drums. The cover of this ep was pretty amazing with a little peek-a-boo window on the back cover and a Sinatra silhouette fold on the front. It was a great release and No Idea put it out. The songs on here are:

1. Bleeding to Death

2. November First

3. Fuse

4. 5.15.98

5. Absent from the Morning Headcount

6. Just Say "Go!"

Andrew Tweety, one of Buried Inside's guitarist was going to a recording studio run out of Raven House Studios. He worked on recorded this as a sound project with his teacher.

Bill Corbett did this show. It was awesome especially given that the show was on good Friday and the title of the show calls into question the myth of christiniaty. Bill would come to do artwork for our ep on Deranged. Chris was able to get Teen Crud on the bill and we driove up together. I remember rocking out to Slayer and realizing that's where Katie ripped the riffs for "I'll Do Anything" from.
