- LOUISIANA PUNK & POST-PUNK (1977-1984)
-
-
Collection Of Louisiana Punk 1980-1983 (MP3s)
This is a compilation of various Louisiana punk mp3's. A lot of these come from the NO Questions, No Answers
compilation (Vinyl Solution, 1980)
This also includes the entire Shell Shock "Your Way" and Wayward Youth "El Mundo" e.p.'s.
Aside from Toxin III (who were from Crowley) and the Shit Dogs (who
were from Baton Rouge), most of these bands were from New Orleans.
The Sluts' vocalist was considered for the spot in Black Flag after Dez
switched to guitar, but obviously Henry Rollins got the job.

The Limit
Uh Oh / Call Jane // Candy Rocks / Dream of Love
10" Pendulum, 1983
Uh Oh is Incredible Kidda Band-styled upbeat UK Teenage Treats powerpop-punk
circa '78 (UK '78 = NOLA '83, basically) and Call Jane sounds like the Forgotten
Rebels - but maybe with Ric Ocasek on vocals?! The two b-side tracks are only
okay by comparison.[??] If I remember correctly they were either Jefferson or
St. Bernard Parish heybras bred on corporate rock who went 'headband-punk,'
but they could actually play, they had better gear and they could write songs,
unlike the Uptown dilettantes.[Paul MOTO]

History Of Cheese is another
redneck/bar band punk classic,
very lo-fi but great performance
and some brilliant songs lifts it up.
Showing an Eat-like progression the second is good pop-punk.[HW]
Skinnies New Orleans
- Kill The Beat 7" Lectric Eye EYE1, 1978 PS
Last Laugh HAW-014, 2011 PS
(I'm A Dullard / Out Of Order)
- Out Of Order 7" Rave Up RUG-01, 1999/1978-79 PS
(Out Of Order / (I'm A) Dullard // Does She Or Doesn't She / C.I.A. / Hit
And Run)
Classic loser punk.[HW] In perhaps the worst example of Rave Up's poor
quality control, the reissue's track listing shows the third song on the
wrong side and also includes a sixth song called Hey Toots which doesn't
actually appear.[JF]
Sluts New Orleans
- 12" Of Sluts 12" Spread'um SLUT-1, 1982
(Head Hunter / Chicken Stiken / Fuck You / Cunning Linguist / Gator Rockin /
I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend, Baby / 1 Cord City // Nuke The Whales / Poor
Blacks / Hey, Hey, We're The Sluts / Mom's Cunt / Rip-Off Rocker / Draft
Song / Gnu Song)
Dumb punk, bordering on hardcore. Terrible or pure genius depending on your
point-of-view. 1 Cord City is an answer to the Cold's best known song.[JF]
Times Baton Rouge
- Mr. Right / Vogue Baby 7" Skratch SRTT012, 1981 NS?
- Wendy O / The Obvious 7" Skratch STRR013, 1981 PS
Toxin III Crowley

- Wanna Go To London LP Skratch SK-001, 1982
(Jungle Intro / I'm An Actor / Now What / Stop & Think // Call Vinnie /
Primal Urges / Just A Human / Music In The Walls / Wanna Go To London)
5 of the 8 songs are bad rock. The other 3 are slightly punkier rock
with the title track bein' the best (but still pretty mediocre) cut.
