New Alliance Records
New Alliance Records was an independent record label founded by American musicians D. Boon and Mike Watt (of The Minutemen) and longtime friend and associate Martin Tamburovich. They were inspired by the example of their friends in southern California band Black Flag who had earlier formed SST Records. The existence of SST led Watt to understand, according to a 1987 interview he gave to ''Musician'' magazine, how easy it was to get a record made: "All you had to do was pay the record plant man." The label's first release was the 1980 various-artist compilation '' Cracks in the Sidewalk,'' which included tracks by the Minutemen, Black Flag, and Saccharine Trust. Other early releases on New Alliance included Hüsker Dü's first album ''Land Speed Record'' and the Minutemen's second-ever release, the seven-inch EP '' Joy''. Eventually the label grew to nurture the early career of the Descendents, issue additional compilation albums ('' Chunks'' and '' Mighty Feeble''), and release ...

Firehose (band)
Firehose (stylized as fIREHOSE) was an American alternative rock band consisting of Mike Watt (bass, vocals), Ed Crawford (guitar, vocals), and George Hurley (drums). They were initially active from 1986 to 1994, and briefly reunited in 2012. History Firehose was formed in the spring of 1986 shortly after the accidental death of D. Boon brought an end to Watt and Hurley's previous band, Minutemen. Crawford, a then 21-year-old Ohio State student and Minutemen fan, was invited up on the roof of Camper Van Beethoven's van in Columbus, Ohio. The members of Camper Van Beethoven told Crawford a false rumor that Watt and Hurley were auditioning guitarists for the band. Crawford, having found Watt's phone number in the phone book, called him up and expressed his desire to come out to California and play with them. Still mourning the loss of his best friend Boon, Watt initially was not interested and had lost much of his desire to play music, however, Crawford's persistence eventuall ...

Slovenly (band)
''Slovenly'' were an American post-punk band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1981. After the group disbanded, Tom Watson joined Red Krayola for their self-titled album and has continued to record with them. History The members of Slovenly had all attended Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach. Steve Anderson, Scott Ziegler and drummer Bruce Lossen were in a band called the Convalescence. When the bass player left, Watson joined and the band name was changed to Toxic Shock. After graduation, they continued playing music and the initial version of Slovenly was formed. Eventually, Bruce left the band and was replaced by ex-Saccharine Trust drummer Rob Holzman. The band played their first gig as Toxic Shock with Minutemen and Saccharine Trust which led to an invitation from the Urinals to contribute a track to the ''Keats Rides A Harley'' compilation album by Happy Squid Records.

In A Free Land
"In A Free Land" is a song written by Bob Mould and performed by his band Hüsker Dü and released as a single in 1982. It was the band's second single. The sound is still hardcore punk, but it does have a hint of their future melodic style, particularly on the title track. The single's pressing was limited to 2,500 copies upon its release, along with an unknown number that contained a lyric insert. The three tracks, in remixed form (a necessity since the original two-track master was lost by the pressing plant hired by New Alliance), appear on the '' Everything Falls Apart and More'' CD. The loss of the original two-track master to this EP may have led to a popular rumor that the stereo master to ''Everything Falls Apart'' itself had been lost. The title track was covered by the New Jersey hardcore band Ensign on their 2003 album ''Love the Music, Hate the Kids''. In 2009, at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in New York City, Mould teamed up with members of No Age to perfo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Politics Of Time
''The Politics of Time'' is the seventh overall release, third album-length release, and first compilation by American hardcore punk band the Minutemen. Released in between their ''Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat'' 12" EP and ''Double Nickels on the Dime'' double album on their own New Alliance Records label, the album compiles seven tracks meant for a non- SST Minutemen studio album that never materialized, a variety of live tracks of varying recording quality (most done with ordinary cassette machines), and a recording by the Minutemen's predecessor band The Reactionaries. Part of the sleeve note on the back cover facetiously asks listeners to "note the quality of the recording" on the live version of "Fanatics" (from ''The Punch Line''). While the recording is an almost undiscernible mess, the cut is apparently included for its historical importance as according to Henry Rollins in his book ''Get In The Van'', on this night at the end of the song, D. Boon had jumped i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
