I first heard this classic Japanese band through my friend Louis Whom I've written a lot about on some of my past posts in this blog. Luke played me this shit on a cassette in his little red truck, on our way out to see Citizens Arrest & Born Against at Abc No Rio in around 1989-1990. I recall that weekend we also recorded a demo with my other Friend Mike entitled Extreme Satanic Rage. Wish I had a copy of that demo...
I think I later got a cassette of the comes stuff from my old friend Simon Harvey on one of his many trips to Albany when we were both obsessing over anything fast.
What makes this band so great are the frantic Female vocals, and the quirky not overly distorted guitar tones(barely any distortion at all). Its so fucking punk rock and fast, with NO metal influence what so ever. The Comes quickly became one of my two favorite Japanese bands of all time right behind the mighty Bastard. Up until very recently I was so obsessed with them that I owned three copies of this rarity. I now own just two of the amazing 12", but still crush hard on the singer. Enjoy, and please comment, I dig reading others views, and memories.

I love this ep, but I actually love their "Power Never Die" record better, the metal influence crept in for that one.

this was recently bootlegged by some hipster fag from the East Coast. He did a great job, and I think used the proceeds to start a legit record label.
ReplyDeletethank you for the rip of this.
The cover is typical of Japanese bands, using some type of Manga style on the art and with no colors, all pencil. Still a pretty cool design but could have been much better.

ReplyDeleteNathan.
OK... came looking for "No Side" and found one of my old shots of Verbal Abuse (would have been 1985 @ John Barley's in Vancouver) in your "Enjoy the tunes" image. Way cool!
