LIGHTNING RAIDERS

Requested by Khnud, maybe not the most metallic NWOBHM band but it's rather interesting tough : a mix between hard rock, pub rock and punk rock à la CLASH.

Thanks a lot, this sounds a little better than my version. They both seem to suffer from the same distortions at the end of both songs though, so I suppose it's the recording itself.

I agree on the musical definition, you've got to love "Views" though. Really anthemic song, makes me want to drink beer!

Edit: Oh, and it's "Psychedelic Musik", with a k i music, not in psychedelic.

I also think it was recorded like that, I've heard three differents rips of this 7", and the three have the same distortion troubles.

I don't listen to much punk rock anymore, but this is pretty good. Apparently they recorded an album that was more metal than punk, but it was never released. Anyone have it?

I wasn't able to find anything from their unreleased album "Sweet Revenge," but here's a blog with their other single, "Criminal World."

I just want to add that I recently bought both singles for 12 dollars each. I would have thought they were a lot more expensive than that.

Edit: And the "Psychedelic Musik" single actually plays with NO distortions, at least on my record player. I'll see if I can rip it and share with you all.
