KILLED BY DEATH Volume 1 1977 - 1982

If you're into punk rock, especially the earlier and more obscure bands, then you'll know all about the KBD releases. They sell like mad on eBay and now any goon with an old punk record will put "KBD" or "Killed By Death" next to whatever punk LP or 7 inch they are trying to sell, even when it has nothing to do with KBD, maybe to try and squeeze out a few more bucks from some poor sap. I'm still waiting to see an old Green Day 7 inch show up on eBay with a "KBD" next to it. I'm sure someone will do it one day.

Track List:
1. Mad - I Hate Music
2. Hollywood Square - Hillside Strangler
3. The Slugs - Problem Child
4. Vox Pop - Cab Drive
5. The Controllers - (The Original) Neutron Bomb
6. The Dogs - Slash Your Face
7. Gasoline - Killer Man
8. Kraut - Matinee
9. Child Molesters - (I'm The) Hillside Strangler
10. Cold Cock - I Wanna Be Rich
11. The Authorities - Radiation Masturbation
12. The Authorities - I Hate Cops
13. The Nuns - Decadent Jew
14. The Users - Sick Of You
15. Vicious Visions - I Beat You

Maggot Sandwich "Get Off the Stage" 1987

Formed in 1984 here in Pensacola, Florida, Maggot Sandwich became the most well known punk band in the state. Formed by Vik Kaos and his brother Steev, Maggot Sandwich was not the first name for the band. When they first started jamming together, they called the band Kaos but it turned out there were a lot of bands with that name already so they went with the tasty Maggot Sandwich. Vik Kaos formed his own label, KML Records, around 1985 and released a 7 inch, Dead To My World. Five hundred copies were pressed. Two years later, the full length LP Get Off the Stage was released. Around this time I believe Vik Kaos published a zine called Maggot Sandwich. Speaking of zines, MS received several record reviews in Maximum Rock n Roll, including a Pensacola scene report. They opened for a lot of bands you already love: Suicidal Tendencies, Dead Kennedys, Adrenalin O.D., SNFU, Government Issue, The Descendants, Agnostic Front, DRI, Henry Rollins, Bad Brains , Circle Jerks and Raw Power.
In the mid-90's, I was working in a local indy record store when someone came across an old stash of Maggot Sandwich LPs, 7 inchers of Headless Marines and a ton of Headless Marines and Maggot Sandwich stickers. We ended up selling the whole stash which made us feel a bit nostalgic for the old days. Enjoy!
