Hell Comes To Your House

Soundtrack

Time Bomb

This compilation, recorded in 1981, is the SoCal equivalent of Flex Your Head, the classic DC hardcore compilation. Early tracks from Social Distortion and Red Cross (later Red Kross), as well as the lesser known but equally influential 45 Grave and Christian Death. Other bands include Legal Weapon, Modern Warfare, Secret Hate, Conservatives, 100 Flowers, Rhino 39, and Super Heroines. Why did some of these bands go on to be legends and others fade into obscurity? Fate is fickle, as they say. Reportedly recorded for $550 dollars, this is a great example of the DIY ethic that evolved into today’s thriving indie record scene. Every fan of old school punk should own this. Time Bomb, 219 Broadway #519, Laguna Beach, CA 92651
