HASKELS, THE - Taking The City By Storm LP (Black Vinyl) NICE PRICE
The Haskels – Hard Punk Pop From Milwaukee circa 1981
Rising like the phoenix from the ashes of the first version of the band;
The Haskels served up heavy doses of three minute, adrenaline-fueled
hard punk pop, as evidenced on the highly sought after, Killed by Death
bootlegged, “Taking the City by Storm” EP released in 1981 on their own
Milwaukee Hits label. Now the full story of the band can be heard, seen,
and told.
As the decade turned from the rust belt 70’s to the Reagan-era 80’s, the
original Haskels (see their self-titled LP released last year on
Splunge) split into two factions, with the local punk/new wave/post-punk
scene moving to the gritty Starship club in downtown Milwaukee. The
Haskels were instrumental in getting bands to play the venue, including
the Oil Tasters, Plasticland, Ama-Dots, Shivvers, Die Kreuzen and a
burgeoning Violent Femmes.
The version of the Haskels represented here initially included Presley
Haskel and Gerard LaValliere, fresh from the first line up of the band;
joined by the crack rhythm section of Bobby Mitchell and Vodie
Rhinehardt. Later tracks, including the EP were recorded by the
Presley/Bobby/Vodie trio. In either case, the material is a match made
in punk pop heaven; coupling Presley’s knife-sharp songwriting
sensibilities with a tight unit of A-Team musicians driving the music
forward.
“Taking the City by Storm” includes 14 tracks of rare and never before
released material from the Splunge Archives. The release is comprised of
demos, live tracks and the entire, highly coveted “Taking the City by
Storm” EP, remastered for the first time. Co-released with our pals at
Bachelor Records, we’re sure you’ll dig hearing these long-lost gems.
Co-released with Splunge Communications out of USA. USA / Canadian customers need to order through Rerun Records at: Rerun Record Shop
