It’s Mediocre Monday again, and holy crap is this day mediocre at best. Take care of your back, kids. It affects your sleep when you get older. I would like to kick the guy who stagedove on me at the slayer show in 1985 in the privates right now.
Here is one that people will appreciate, but it is pretty rough sounding. That’s the thing with those consumer recorders in the 80’s- if a band played at a reasonable volume, you’d get a decent recording… but if they were loud, you get one like this.
Regardless, it is an important document- Violent Coercion were part of a scene that was the nexus of east bay punk. Aaron Cometbus says it well:
“Three members of Violent Coercion went on to form Neurosis, the fourth drew the cover of the first Neurosis LP, and the fifth ended up in Samiam. Talk about an all-star cast.” -Aaron Cometbus, 2018
