Lepers - I wanna be God EP


Label: Unclean Records; Year: 1984; Format: Vinyl 7"

Very little is known about the Lepers from Colorado, except that they released three EPs between 1983 and 1984, this one here being the last one. You get to hear four strong hardcore punk numbers that vary in speed and are far from your generic fast hardcore that was prevailing in 1984. Instead you get intelligent and sarcastic songs stuck somewhere in the middle between more traditional punk rock and '80s hardcore. I have never heard the other two EPs, but should they be equally strong as this one then maybe some reissue label should slap all three on an LP. Just throwing out an idea...
