THE ACTION
"Slashing, White Hot"
The Action, one of Canada’s first punk bands, formed in Ottawa in 1977. Their style combined early American and English punk like The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, and The Vibrators with rock influences such as The Rolling Stones’ guitar attack and The Allman Brothers’ dual-guitar and slide-guitar leads, which, combined with provocative lyrics and an untouchable stage show, made The Action a musician’s band. The Action was chosen to open for The Ramones in 1978 and helped spearhead punk across Canada when they supported The Stranglers on that band’s first North American tour the same year. This collection covers The Action’s short but wild career from 1977-’78: their debut 12-inch (which includes the cult classic “TV’s on the Blink”) and a recording for a never-released follow-up EP, plus smokin’ live tracks recorded at the infamous Rotters Club in Ottawa, Canada.
THE CARDIAC KIDZ
"Get Out"
Started in 1974 as ‘Glass Onion', they were based in San Diego. During the glorious years, the ‘Kidz' performed with the cream of the local punk bands of that era, such The Penetrators, The Dinettes, DFX2, Hitmakers,The Standbys, Gary and the Blind Dates, The X-Terminators and more... The guys released also two great records in 1979, the amazing single ‘Get Out/Find Yourself a Way' and ‘Playground' 7" EP. The Cardiac Kidz are featured on two ‘Killed by Death' compilation albums which seemed to solidify their place in the historic annuals of the history of US Punk Rock. They just recently granted an interview to San Francisco&x27;s Maximum Rock&x27;n'Roll magazine. Buy or Die!!!!!

THE WARMJETS
"Wanna Start a War"
Philadelphia's punk rock finest band! Started in 1977, the band was really popular at the ‘The Hot Club', one of the main punk venues in USA. They had a punk ethos, but laced with a potent pop mentality and a big sense of pure theatricality that reminded one of suck disparate outfits as Sparks, The Weirdos, Lance Loud's Mumps and The Dickies, not to mention The Monkees! Unfortunately the band recorded only one acetate and few studio tracks that you can find in this anthology that contains the best production of their unlucky career!!!
Pure US punk genius, grab this!!!
