(Last Laugh 2013 [originally Timebomb, 1979]) Reissue of a record with songs you may know from Killed By Death/Bloodstains compilation canonization, and may know because this Scottish band is still around, making them cockroach-like punk rock survivors. But I didn't know that this was all they put out in the entire 20th Century, though demos and other scraps appear on recent compilations. If you only release four minutes of music in the first 25 years of your existence it better be good and this sure the fuck is. These great Scotts make concise, scrappy, joyful yet angry, dystopian, street punk, with one almost Prog-gish guitar excursion somehow squeezed in. That a dude names himself Gerry Attrick in the 70s and then rocked for forty more years and counting is the greatest punk rock punchline of all time.
