Tape - Drunks With Guns - Second Verses

N-Tape Drunks With Guns Second

Available

Tape - Drunks With Guns - Second Verses - Drunks With Guns were a nihilistic, noise rock / dumb punk band from St. Louis in the mid-to-late 80s.
Their second LP entitled “Second Verses” from 1990 Second Verses contains material recorded by Drunks With Guns between 1984-1990, including “Zombie”, "Drunks Theme," “Punched”, “Leprosy”, “Enemy”, an alternate take of "Wonderful Subdivision" with more guitar in the mix, "Two Minutes”, “Drug Prolem”, “DWI”, and “A Beer”. The original LP also included covers of the Weirdos’ “Life of Crime” and the Stooges’ “Raw Power”, but those tracks have been cut from this cassette tape reissue per the band’s request.
In case you missed our reissue of the debut LP on cassette. Here’s the story behind Drunks With Guns:
This band is legendary and there's loads of rumor and heresy surrounding the legend. The band formed in 1984, released about a half-dozen singles and a couple LPs, played four shows and called it quits (well, in the same way Chrome called it quits anyway. The original singles and the LPs (and even the Complete Drunks With Guns tape) are virtually impossible to find these days. Among others, Monty Buckles of the Lamps is a big fan of the DWG and he wrote an excellent article in the last issue of Z-Gun that we definitely recommend reading at some point. Anyhow, we've reissued the Drunks With Guns “Second Verses” LP (sans the cover tracks) in an edition of 100 tapes and they're ready for consumption. This tape ain't no bootleg neither. We actually took the time to get in touch with Mike Doskocil, the singer from Drunks With Guns and got permission for the release. We were hoping to do an LP reissue, but apparently the master tapes are in unusable condition. Don't fret, these tapes were professionally dubbed and the fidelity is about as good as your gonna get out of a cassette tape (read: they sound like they should, especially for a Drunks With Guns release). Don't have a cassette deck? What better excuse to get one than a Drunks With Guns tape! Tape decks are littering thrift stores everywhere. Save them from the landfills and enjoy some of the sweet jams that have been issued on the cassette tape format lately, there have been some great ones! Fans of Brainbombs, Flipper, and all things noise rock will definitely want to snatch one of these up before their gone.
