Awesome Canadian hardcore punk that came out in 1986. I bought This on haight street in SF around the same time that I bought the Condemned LP. Later I sold it in my first purge of record selling (1993). I later regretted this, and just recently found this on a Sunday brunch with my girlfriend, and neighbors on the street in Williamsburg. These guys might have played the farm, but I can't recall the show. Not sure what made me buy this record in the first place, or if it was just a whim due to the punk looking cover. It didn't leave my turntable for some time after buying it. It was a great punk record for a metal head to become educated on. I'll get some metal up here soon. Enjoy.

    saw these guys in Kitchener, Ontario in 1997. They have always been a staple in my punk collection. If you like Canadian punk, check out my facebook group "CANADIAN PUNK AND HARDCORE CLUB"

    This is a great record, Death Sentence also did a killer version of Planet Clare (B52 song), seems not to be on this record. I see the drummer Doug Donut around Vancouver, he's a new dad and that little baby looks just like him, also Sid is still in town, but I have not seen for a while. The singer Pete passed away a long time ago. RIP. We have lost too many here in Vancouver.

    They are finally releasing a CD version of 'Not A Pretty Sight' that will also include 'Stop Killing Me'. I also have a demo tape of theirs that is pretty kick ass
