Minnesota punk from 1982 by Ground Zero. Probably known to most passers by for having a couple of records on Reflex (Husker Du’s homebrew record label). One of these guys went on to be in the straight-edge hardcore band, Outcry.

Self Titled LP
I’ve been looking for this record, and their second offering “Pink” for quite some time. I used to see them both in the record stores back in the day, but for some reason, never this one (I do own Pink, but haven’t listened to it in decades). From what I remember, Pink just wasn’t my thing (probably why I never bought this one) but the bass player from Ground Zero went on to play in what is possibly Minnesota’s first straight-edge hardcore band…Outcry (went on to release on EP on Positive Force, and a single on Red Decibel).

Lung Cookies Compilation
Smoke Seven/Your Flesh
The influence of Your Flesh was pretty heavy since almost half the bands are from Minnesota. Classic early 80’s Minnesota punk from Final Conflict, Otto’s Chemical Lounge, Willful Neglect, Boy Elroy, Red Meat & Ground Zero. Check this one out!

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.
