Sometime To Return – 1988 – Live

Probably the most commercially successful band to come out of the Minneapolis punk scene, eclipsing Husker Du & The Replacements. After all, they never played a Presidential Inaugural Ball!

Still. I’ve always been a fan of the early Soul Asylum stuff. Every since the mega-hits of the 90s they have pretty much been written off as one of the anchors of the MPLS punk scene in the early days. But go back and listen to those Twintone and A&M albums and you’ll see that it still stands up even into the mid-2010s.

The Kitten comp is one of the defining moments in the Minneapolis punk scene.  A document of the punk and hard core bands that put Minnesota on the map.  It has since been re-released on CD by Garage D’or Records .  It probably sounds a whole lot better than this tape ever did.   Once you sample the cassette, head over and buy the CD.

Once again, linked from the fabulous Download Underground site.  Head over and get this!
