Rezabek, Rozz
Pop Session (san Francisco 1979)
The often misunderstood 1979 'Pop Session' recording has been historically misattributed to Negative Trend, the band originally fronted by Rozz Rezabek, caused by its only available bootleg form. But now these nine blood-boiling studio recordings are set to change the historical context going forward. It's truly that heavy, that powerful, that intimidating, yet somehow still unknown. Dangerously simmering in the pre-hardcore sweet spot of 1979, this collection of speed-soaked brain-frying tracks is inexplicably stuck in the blind spot for most first wave West Coast punk fanatics, until now.
