This is a smoking early piece of Texas punk in the “KBD” style from a lost band called BOY PROBLEMS. I found it on a 7" bootleg comp I bought many years ago called “Sacred Cattle”, and if you believe what you read here, the track is not even called “Participation” at all, but rather “Precipitation”. 

I’d date it at about 1979 or 1980, tops. What do you think?

Classic article from RIPPER fanzine about the infamous 1982 MISFITS show in San Francisco (with Flesh Eaters, Meat Puppets and Jodie Foster’s Army supporting!) in which blood was spilled, anti-gay slurs uttered, and a legion of San Francisco/Berkeley punks turned off to the Misfits forever. 

Article was written by Eugene Robison, who was the singer at the time for Whipping Boy, and who probably could have snapped even Doyle and Jerry Only in two had he chosen to take them on.

THE NIXE were a predominantly female Dutch punk rock act from ‘80-’81, who most of us had never heard/heard of until their 2008 posthumous LP collection came out on Lili Z’s Polly Magoo Records. This track in particular is pretty special in the 60 seconds or so that it’s around.

“Disco, get out of my way!!”.

Anyone remember the ABE FROMAN “Baltimore is Scum” EP from 2000? Hey, not me! That won’t stop me from throwing this track from it at you for goodtimes’ sake.

As I understand it, they were a trio from East Lansing, MI at the turn of the century, and, having heard the EP, it’s not like it’ll blow your female-fronted punk-loving mind across the board, but you’re certain to agree with me that the kick-off track “Russian 101” is a ripper.
