Citizens Arrest - Demo '89

Citizens Arrest was a hardcore punk band from New York, USA that existed from 1988-1990. Their music catalog consists of some comp tracks, an EP (A Light in the Darkness) followed by an LP (Colossus) released shortly after the group had disbanded. According to the former members, a discography CD is said be be coming out soon. The band consisted of Daryl Kahan on vocals, Janis Cakars on guitar, Joseph Martin on bass, and Patrick Winter on drums. Influences by bands like Siege, Negative FX, and SoA, Citizens Arrest played numerous times despite being around for only a couple years. Their music was a mix of hardcore bordering on thrash complimented by gruff vocals that made them sound like they were a Japanese band like S.O.B. or Gauze.
Considered one of the seminal bands of the late 80’s N.Y. hardcore scene, many wonder what might have been if internal band conflicts wouldn’t have torn the band apart so early.Members went on to play in Taste of Fear, HellNo, Moses, One Sided War. and Forced Expression

Rubella Ballet-1982 Demo

Rubella Ballet is a day-glo anarcho-punk Peace band formed in 1979 by Sid Ation who lived at Poison Girls HQ Burley House in Epping just down the road from Crass’s HQ Dial House. Sid first started the band with former Fatal Microbes guitarist Pete Fender (14) Gem Stone (12 drummer from Fatal Microbes), Bassist “It” (Fatal Microbes) also briefly appearing in the band in it’s experimental early days was singer Annie Anxiety from New York who lived with Crass at dial house, Annie went on to do her own thing leaving the position open for Zillah Minx to take over as full time lead singer and introduce for the first time in punk history the now ubiquitous Ultra Violet Day-glo style and fashion the band have kept ever since. Many other bands have stolen the Rubella Ballet look (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) to name just one major band to the whole rave scene.

The band released one album on cassette tape, entitled Ballet Bag and a 4 track 7” EP, “Ballet Dance”. Following these early releases they went on to produce 4 further albums. The first two on Ubiquitous Records were ‘At Last Its Play Time’ (1985) and ‘If’ (1986). The next album ‘Cocktail Mix’ (1987) was produced on the Red Rhino label and the last album release ‘At The End of The Rainbow’ (1990) on Brave Records.

The band also did two John Peel Sessions

Rubella Ballet are quite possibly one of the most obscure punk bands ever, combining fast punk and death rock together for the first time in one band.

Poison Idea-Feel The Darkness

Poison Idea was formed in 1980 by vocalist Jerry A. (aka Jerry Lang). The initial lineup consisted of Jerry A., Tom “Pig Champion” Roberts (guitar), Glen Estes (bass), and Dean Johnson (drums). Inspired by Black Flag and other early Southern California hardcore acts, they were further influenced by Discharge and Los Angeles’s the Germs. Germs singer Darby Crash was a strong influence on singer Jerry A.—vocally, lyrically, and philosophically—was monumental, and Poison Idea followed the Germs’ extremist punk ethic.
