Dead Ends Complaints LP
This one is a punk relic treasure straight from the Filipino ’85 punk rock movement, representing the first LP effort by Pinoy punks during the dictatorship that ended in ’86 and now brought back to life by Berlin’s Merciless Records. Classic speedy punk rock with traces of sarcasm that remind me of DEAD KENNEDYS and even the sounds of the CLASH’s early records, plus a feeling of vitality and anger only found in those critical times. A great surprise from the tunnel of time regarding forms of punk with meaning, and a real treat in the respects of mastering, mixing, and restoration. Favorite track: “Dreamer.” Recommended.
