PINPOINT - Third State 1980


Image and video hosting by TinyPic

     A very underrated album is the full length by Pinpoint which were formed by Arthur Billingsley (AKA Arturo Bassick) in 1978 after he left the Lurkers, compiled by David M. Allen (bass) and Hugh Griffiths (drums) and it's really a shame that this LP received not much attention at the time of its publication. They released overall with the album three 7inches and the most known is their debut single Richmond, all on Albion Records.
     This album has 10 great songs on it, a perfect mixture of fast punk numbers (Blind Eyes, Dark & Red), cool synthesizer smasher (Family Life, Waking Up To Morning, Drowning In The Wave Of Life) and simply great wavie tunes (Listen To The Snow, Hospital, Third State) and a fine ballad (Somebody Told Me). This brilliant record receives my full score and belongs in every punk collection.

Cheifs - Holly-West Crisis (1981)

Formed in 1980 and disbanding only two short years later, Chiefs played an active role in the early punk movement with musical peers Black Flag, Circle Jerks, The Stains, The Plugz, and Bad Religion during the genre’s glory days. Chiefs records and compilations remain some of the most sought after punk material of the time period.

Chiefs only released one 7″ EP while still together but would later regroup in the studio to record 6 new tracks that would be compiled with the 7″ material as the Holly-West Crisis vinyl release. This re-release pressing is limited to 1000 copies, so if you missed the last limited pressing in the early 00s, here’s a great chance to snag a classic with a new insert and art design. This is a must for any long-time fans.

If you’re looking for the perfect release to throw you back into the atmosphere of Southern Cali’s punk experience of the early 80s with seedy basement shows and snotty punks, look no further than this exclusive re-issue.
