Depo-Provera

Depo-Provera Totally Useless LP

Much more on the punk side of things than pure thrash, their most appealing material has good melody, tough guitar, and an almost PISTOLS-like quality on the better tracks (“Brainwash”). But there’s plenty of thrash too, as well as a clunker or two. Overall—pretty good, hot production, tight playing.

Depo-Provera / Temperamental Psychotics split cassette

The DEPO-PROVERA side features some very catchy tunes, both slow and thrashed-out. They’re powerful, melodic, and intelligent, and worth the $1 price all by themselves. The TEMPERAMENTAL PSYCHOTICS, on the other hand, play slower, leaden punk that doesn’t do much for me.
