Today I was finally able to watch
Soap the Stamps, a new BBC documentary on 80s U.K. hardcore... it was a bit short but still cool and featured Beddis and the Cowboy Killers prominently, so I was inspired to re-post this early discography CD of the Welsh favorites... Formed in the late 80s, these guys were heavily influenced by U.S.
bands like Flag of Democracy and Dead Kennedys. Their speedy tracks
featured melodic leads and their singer Beddis' trademark Jello
Biafra-esque wails. This collection CD compiles their first two Lps, a
couple of compilation songs and their demo. Included amongst the tracks
is a great cover of the Feeders' "Jesus Entering From the Rear" if that
gives you more of a clue where they were coming from.
Cowboy Killers had a few more releases after those chronicled on this
disc - a couple of 7"ers, a live album titled "Thank You, Fuck You And
Goodnight" and one final studio Lp called "Dai Laughing." I may get
around to posting some of the later material sometime... though it's not
as vital as this early stuff. Get this great disc at the link below!
