Reviews

  • ATDelbos's avatar
    ATDelbos
    These are the pieces gathered together in the wake of The Deviants' collapse. Larry Wallis' addition for the final "Kings of Oblivion" (dig the play on Bowie?) is the group at full bloom, the two preceding LPs are the root and branch. Jon Savage refers to the first single as pre-punk and Rollins agrees, "Don't talk about it man, just do it!"
