Sacramento experimental noise punk, 2015-2016.
Starts off with 4-song “Trash Thrash – 2/5 of the Brats” Demo recorded on phone, Oct, 2015.
Next come three songs with more band members and nifty song titles.
Ends with 9 minute Norcal Noisefest performance (last show?), Oct. 2016. Songs: Intro, Fuck It, Hijo de la Chingada, I Don’t Want to Think; Kush Did 9/11, At Least One of Our Neighbors Likes Us, Facemelter; Live at 2016 Norcal Noisefest NFXX, October 1, 2016.
Wow, this one seems to have a ton of unreleased material. The West Lords were an Oi band from Sacramento. Members were Kurt Gardenhire, Matt Millner, Mikey Hennessey, and Morgan Harrison. Mikey was the vocalist in U.S. Roughnecks a few years before this.
They released 7 songs on a self-released CDR album and 2 tracks on a 7″. This session has more than 9 songs. Nothing I checked would shazam and the google overlords can’t ID it.
It says rough mixes, but since the session was engineered by Pat Hills (I think), it sounds great.

It’s a late audio post today, from Alfie Kulzick’s collection. This one is a compilation that was put together in 2014, 24 years after the club closed. It looks like 7 of these tracks were previously released, but some of them do not sound like the album versions to my ears.
Huge thanks to Alfie for this one- this was the only thing that I had to listen to in the car after I had my phone stolen at a Blood for Blood show in Berkeley back in April. I was stressing and this was like a life preserver.

Time for yet another new collection. This brings us to 31 distinct audio/video collections… so about one a month from each.
Anthony Siino brought me at least 500 tapes from Tony Passarell’s collection last week. So many tapes and CD’s! Since the archive is heavily weighted toward punk, metal and alternative rock, it’s nice to get something different in here. Also a nice way to remember Tony, who passed away earlier this year.
What you see on the CD image is all I have on this group. If anyone knows full names, which studio, etc.. let me know. I will add the details.
