United States - Minneapolis, MN

GUN CONTROL 12" 01. Gun Control 02. Personal Phone Call 03. Capital Punishment 04. Artificial World 05. Human Race 06. New Religion 07. Changed Label: National Security Records Format: 12" Released: 1983

Reviews: What we have here is a bunch of medium-speed punk tunes with a melodic orientation. Songs like "Gun Control" and "Capital Punishment" (which has simplistic "law and order" lyrics) are straightforward numbers with good, strong hooks, but certain other songs are less memorable and lacking in energy. An uneven debut, but Civil Defense have potential. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #16, August 1984)
