Dirt- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 10/7/94 xfer from 1st gen soundboard cassette Anarcho Punk Crass Recs

I have a LOT of Eggplan’t stuff to post, so let’s do a 2nd post this week from his collection. I have to admit that I have never heard of Dirt, but they seem to be pretty well-known in anarcho punk circles, releasing an LP on Crass Records in 1982. Here’s what discogs has to say about them “DIRT was an anarcho-punk band from London, UK, formed in 1980. The band was active until 1995, after a hiatus from 1986 to 1992.” So, this was most likely their last US tour before calling it a day.
With band member names like Sh*t and Vomit, what’s not to love?

Dirt- WFMU Live in Studio, E Orange NJ 1992 xfer from 1st gen audio cassette

Hopefully I can get some help on this one. This is another one of those uncirculated WFMU tapes that Jason Ross got from a guy named Matt back in the 90s. Dirt is a fairly common band name, and I cannot figure out which Dirt this band is. None of them on Discogs make any sense. The closest one that fits the description (Hardcore punk w/a woman on vocals) is an Anarcho-Punk band from London, but they were not active in 1992. If you know who this is, please let me know. They kinda rip.

Update: Thanks to dl_bass26 for this info: Dirt (Dirt (13) on Discogs) were a post-hardcore/noise rock quartet from Atlanta who existed from about 1989-1992. They released 2 albums and 2 singles before they split up. Their singer/guitarist John Forbes later formed Mount Shasta, while the other members formed Seersucker.
