The Freeze

The second and final component in the II part ALIVE 1980! Official Narrow Mind Blog™ series. This time THE FREEZE steps up to da plate. This installment is very similar to the last one (see below) in the sense that both records capture the bands at a very formative period in their respective existences. Herein, one can hear the primitive, mid-tempo versions of THE FREEZE's most classic songs, like "We're Not The Abnormal Ones" and "Halloween Night." And hey, "Don't Forget Me Tommy" actually sounds like a punk song this time around (as opposed to the almost New Wave version that's on the single). There's even shit from Rabid Reaction on here. This is definitely one of the best live punk records of all time so feast yer ears.

The Lewd

Part I in the II part ALIVE 1980! Official Narrow Mind Blog™ series. I mean c'mon, this is fucking THE LEWD. Do I really need to describe this for it to entice you further? Post-Kill Yourself, pre-American Wino. Perfection? I think so. What really makes this a treat are the three studio tracks at the very end, two of which  can be found on the live B side of American Wino. Do it!
