Bullet LaVolta - ST 12'' (1988)



I got a copy of their demo tape the year before this 12'' came out and was hooked, it's much rawer than this release. I knew nothing about the band, but that didn't really matter as the music kicked arse. It was in the punk/metal crossover area, but more punk to me due to the aggression and speed. Once I found out that Ken Chambers from the Moving Targets had joined them I was even more interested.

This is easily their best release and towards the end they became a little generic with lots of metal noodling in the songs. They imploded in the early 90's.

  1. awwwwwwwwwww man, I love this ep to death. Had a conversation with Paul Hoddy (Conflict and Broken Bones), and they are his favorite band. Dead Wrong just plain rocks! You would not have their debut album available for us to check out would you? Fantastic post Neil!

  3. You know, there is some metal influence here, but more in a Motorhead kind of way. I also hear The Stooges too. Love this 12"!

  4. I couldn't agree more Ken.

    Speaking of Motörhead, their latest album is really good, it's the best thing they've done for years.
