Reviews & Opinions

KILL YOUR PET PUPPY: The first demo cassette was recorded by the band in a bedroom and released via the fanzine network and sold at the odd live performance by the band. It is not a studio release and should be treated as ‘historical’ interest only. the sound is raw, sometimes muddy Punk Rock, recorded at different levels, sometimes through one speaker (at least on my cassette - maybe I have had a dud all these years?). There are some decent attempts of songs like ’Drop The Bomb’ and ‘Stoke Newington Eight’ but most of the cassette is pretty Rough stuff to listen to. Would suggest this tape is for ‘experienced’ Apostles audiophiles only…If this is your first Apostles experience then turn it off and listen to ‘Libertarian Propaganda’ or ‘Punk Obituary’ instead (somewhere else on this site) absorb these releases mentioned and play them over and over and then later, much later, return to this release!"
