Keith Morris and his crew of punk rock misfits, featuring members of Red Kross and Hot Snakes, reissue their first four EPs of fire-spitting hardcore punk that attempts to sound and look like a Black Flag record.
Chemistry of Consciousness is the sound of Discharge on speed, Slayer with a punk rock chip on its shoulder, The Exploited on a Metallica overdose---the perfect marriage of punk angst and metal guitar licks and hooks.
Recorded in 1957 when Lee Morgan was only 19, and released on Blue Note in 1958, “Candy” sees the young trumpet genius as leader of a marvelous quartet.
