Black Flag - Everything Went Black

"There is no way to review an album like this without starting a major war." [from punknews.org]

That being said, I'm not gonna.

A little bit of background to those of you who are new to Black Flag (?). I don't know if that person actually existed. Well, just in case... This is a collection of pre-Rollins Black Flag. It consisted of works from the his three predecessors - Keith Morris, Ron Reyes [Chavo], and Dez Cadena. Enjoy!!!

Rollins Band live with Keith Morris

Here's another post from Terrorizer. Actually, he snagged this from a blogspot somewhere but he can't remember where. So re-upload it to mediafire himself and send the link to me.

I think, this one's recorded in the wake of the West Memphis Three trials. I think the Rise Above Compilation for the West Memphis 3 was just been released. Keith & Henry shared the bill and played Black Flag songs. The first half of the record was with Keith Morris and the second one was with Hank. They also did two Ramones covers here as encores. Below are the complete tracklist:

Rollins Band with Keith Morris

Repo Man

Watching Emilio Estevez sing “We’ve got nothing better to do, than watch TV and have a couple of brews…” in the movie Repo Man has a profound effect on every young punk growing up in the early 80’s. Well, at least it has an effect on me. I can totally relate to what the character in the movie was going through at the time: bored, alienated, disenfranchised, or just plain pissed off.

Let’s talk about my post before I get too emotional and smash someone’s skull. This band needs no introduction, BLACK FLAG, and their song TV Party is one of the few songs I sing to Dylan when I’m putting him to sleep (the others were Bikeage by Descendents and Minor Threat by Minor Threat). TV Party’s got great lyrics and great melody. Melody? Not something you’d expect from one of the progenitors of hardcore, but yes it has a great melody. Plus I can insert my own favorite TV shows and some stupid local soap operas just for laughs.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the post. By the way, Slip It In was recently posted at Hangover Heart Attack, check it out.
