DMZ

DMZ Live!! 1978!! LP

Well, here it is 1986 and I finally discovered why people used to rave about DMZ. After hearing their other releases and being sorely disappointed, I thought the hype was underserved. But now that a tasteful purveyor of primitive raunch has managed to unearth a live DMZ recording that frankly blows away everything else they’ve put out, I’m convinced.

DMZ First Time is the Best Time / Teenage Head 7″

This classic protopunk band existed back in ’76 or so (when this was recorded) and starred Jeff “Mono Mann” Conolly, now in LYRES. They released a great 7″ on Bomp and a couple of LPs, none of which had these two rockers. B-side is a great FLAMIN’ GROOVIES cover.
