MARK HANLEY - "Scar" (1992)

I've gotten a lot of music from Mark Hanley over the years and it's all good! This was a tape he released in 1992 called

 "SCAR!" 

Mark hailed from Youngstown, Ohio, and played all the instruments, except on two songs, where he was helped out by Tracy Makepeace and Sylvia Slip!
On the first song of the first side, Mark tells it like it is, and it's titled:
"It's My Life!"

PUNCTURE PROJECT - "Like Medusa" (1990)

Puncture Project was a great band that hailed from Philadelphia, Pa. that included Dave Barnes on screaming guitars, and searing vocals, Norman Carter playing thund'rous bass with occasional vocals, Glenn Leonard on pounding drums and razor wit, and Kevin Murphy on eloquent trumpet, subtle percussion, and very rare vocals!

This 1990 release was titled "Like Medusa" and here's the lead-off song, something called:

"Innocent Gestures."

ORDINARY BOYS - "Southwestern Suburbia" (1990)

I got this tape from the Ordinary Boys back in 1990.They hailed from Phoenix, Arizona.

The band consisted of Walter Charchuk on Bass,Vocals, Wes Johnson on Guitar, Drum Programs, Vocals, Fred North on Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Drums, Programs, and Mike Stephens, Guitar Vocals. Paulo Finateri is also featured on two songs, including the one I'm presenting right here...

Put your hands together for the Ordinary Boys and the title track of their release...

"Southwestern Suburbia!"

JOHN BARTLES - "Music Licked Clean By Dirty Crows In The Moonlight" (1990)

In 1990 I sent some unfinished tracks to John Bartles! Pre-internet, we'd been writing and exchanging shit for a couple of years, and he had already used some of our music on his awesome "Orange" release, so  I was glad he used some more or our stuff on this tape, and even though it wasn't always exactly his style, he always made it his own, and it worked!

Here's:

 "Used To Be A Preacher!"

LORD LITTER - "No More Rock N Roll" (1987)

This is one of the tapes that really opened up my eyes to how much music was going on around the world! Lord Litter's version of "Wild Thing" blew my mind, and now 30 years have gone by, and he hasn't slowed down a bit!

Bombarded With Flowers was a two man outfit from Indiana consisting of Tom Burris and Nick! From their 1987 release called "Taking Views From An Aeroplane," here's a classic track called:

"Too Late To Stop/Stopped Too Late"
