Triumph

This is the LA-based SST Records Overkill. The good Overkill, not the third-rate thrash band from New York. Released in 1985, Triumph of the Will was their only full-length album, and it kicks ass. Overkill kind of sounded like the love child of Black Flag and The Dictators. Now don't you wanna fucking hear this?

The Blasting Concept

Man, I have really been enjoying Donut Duck's great blog of all things SST Records, so in tribute, I bring you SST's 1983 mission statement of a compilation, The Blasting Concept. This was my introduction to Saccharine Trust, The Minutemen, and Hüsker Dü, all of which blasted my teenage mind right out my fucking earholes. The concept wasn't wasted on me. Oh the onrush of memories brought on by simply hearing these songs in this particular order. Perfect. The tracklist.

Minutemen - Paranoid Chant

Minutemen - The Maze

Minutemen - Boiling

Minutemen - Games

Meat Puppets - Tumblin' Tumbleweeds

Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets

Saccharine Trust - A Human Certainty

Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown

Black Flag - Jealous Again

Overkill - Hell's Getting Hotter

Stains - Get Revenge

Würm - I'm Dead

Blast Off!
