Various – Killed By Death #3: Raw Rare Punk Rock 77-82 LP

Out of all of the Killed By Death punk compilations, this is one of the tightest efforts. It’s mainly due to the fact that the bands display more technical prowess, along with a more streamlined approach to their sound. The guitar tracks of some songs, such as the Queers’ “I Don’t Wanna Work,” are so brutal that it feels like the band has taken a large piece of paper and made a quick incision into your brain. It hurts, but it’s a pleasant pain.
