Omega Tribe Live at the Clarendon cassette

A must for OMEGA TRIBE fans. The production isn’t great, but this tape includes most of their classic punk stuff (like “Profiteer” and “My Tears”) rather than their later psychedelic material. Since there’s little chance of seeing them live again now that they’ve broken up, this release is as close as you can get. Recommended.

Political Asylum When Worlds Collide cassette

Here’s a Scottish act who makes a variety of noises, all with intelligent words about war, pacifism, etc. Enjoyable stuff.

Subhumans / Steve L. Warminster cassette

A hot live set from the SUBHUMANS’ last show, with mucho songs including a great live version of “From the Cradle to the Grave.” Opening act STEVE L. plays melodic acoustic punk with smart lyrics. An excellent tape.
