On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Release or Unrelease(d)...

 

Trying to clean up around here after the chaos of Crazemas & the insanity of un nuevo año. Realized I had a bunch o' back-up gifts & left-over refreshments. Need to get them outta here.

Gifted Frenz of NSS Aleck some Cop Shoot Cop in December. Had Release & some Peel Sessions & un released goodies left over. Making room in that crowded corner.

On this first one, somehow Interscope conned Cop Shoot Cop into adding a guitarist to a notoriously two bass - no guitar band. It sounds OK but just isn't the CSC I've come to expect. More heavily Foetus/Thirlwell influenced than usual, as well ("Slackjaw" is a riff on "Sick Man" for sure). At least Tod has the balls to start the release off with "Interference". 

 

Cop Shoot Cop - Release, Interscope Records 92424-2, 1994.

  2. Loving the Cop Shoot Cop, lots of cool memories (some Babyland next?). I don't think I've seen the Suck City EP posted - lead track on Ask Questions Later but three more which are metal-bashing good times. https://mega.nz/file/0hlz2TQZ#VDZ_2xAu9iGywMGqBLCQF8eW4fLsC6B1jCCy4Yb6nOo

    Thanks very muchly for the Peel & Unreleased, NØ. I only had a very muffled version of the Peel session so i'm hoping this is an improvement on that. Said session was my introduction to Cop Shoot Cop, way back, and it blew me away. You mention Foetus/Thirlwell; you haven't by any chance anything lurking down the back of your sofa, have you? I have bits and pieces, but not much.

  4. Love this band (and Firewater too)! Was lucky enough to see them in a dive bar circa '93. I really dug (and still do) Release when it came out and "It Only Hurts When I Breathe" and "Any Day Now" have stuck with me more than most stuff from back then. I didn't have the Peel Sessions so thank you for filling another hole.
