Bomb Squad
Question Authority '81-'84
Collection of this Dallas, Texas hardcore group's 1982 7" and 1983 12" EP. Playing tons of shows with fellow longhorns Big Boys, Offenders, the Dicks, Stickmen with Rayguns, etc., Bomb Squad earned their place in the early 80's Texas pantheon. Musically, they borrowed heavily from what was happening in the UK at the time, and in that regard maybe they were more comparable to like minded Anglophiles like Toxic Reasons or Kraut. Regardless of the influence, the important thing is this LP delivers 12 tracks of high energy, anthemic, fist banging hardcore punk. With politically conscious lyrics to match the infectious songwriting, what's not to love here? The collection is fleshed out with tons of classic flyers, promo ephemera and liner notes to complete this loving homage to an underrated group.
