Smogtown - Switchblade New Wave



  From Huntington Beach, Los Angeles, Smogtown formed in the mid 90's and released a couple of highly rated albums (Fuhrers Of The New Wave & Domesticviolenceland) plus a bunch of eps and singles before calling it a day.  I posted a song and recommended you check out the Duane Peters produced Fuhrers Of The New Wave in the early days of this blog :  justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/smogtown-judy-is-model.html

  Since their split, they've returned sporadically and in 2011 released the Incest & Pestilence album. There's also Gross Polluter, the band which features members of Smogtown and who have recently released an ep on No Front Teeth Records.

  Today's song is taken from another new No Front Teeth release, a single which takes a couple of old tracks and gives them a new lease of life. They were intended to be released as a single almost 20 years ago so it's a case of better late than never. The flip side is called Porno Beach whilst the song you'll see below, a classic slice of Californian punk, is Switchblade New Wave.....
