Minor Disturbance - Don't Tell Me What Is Right (Run And Hide, 2003)


If the tag conjures up images of Ian MacKaye at the milk bar, think again. Though "Crime," "You Think You're Punk," and the sped-up, mono recording of the Dead Boys' "3rd Generation Nation" (shades of the Teen Idles' interpretation of The Stooges' "No Fun") could flex their heads on an '82 Dischord comp, most of the others hoist their 12-ouncers of Bud Ice in an aching toast with fellow Nor-easterners Limecell and The Wretched Ones. "Riot" (live from the toilet known as CBGBs) waves the Flag (Black, NOT Anti-) from the Damaged years, while crude readings of the Angry Samoans' "Lights Out" and the ' Fits' "We Bite" chomp through 100-watt bulbs with ease.
