The Dirty Scums Dirty Songs From the Dirty Scums LP

Belgian hardcore with a gritty, whining guitar sound, fast- to medium-paced aggression attacking twelve songs with hoarse vocals. Reminds me of earlier punk melodies and ideas.

The Dirty Scums Full Speed Ahead! LP

A pretty good but not amazing mixture of 77ish punk and thrash tunes with both serious and silly lyrics. Most effective are “Song are Rudi,” “Punx Not Allowed,” and “Remember Auschwitz.”
