BLOW IT UP, BURN IT DOWN, KICK IT TILL IT BREAKS! 7" EP 01. Pigs for Slaughter 02. Proletarian Autonomy 03. Fucking Queer 04. Alien Asian 05. 1985 Label: self-released Cat #: AP 001 Format: 7" EP Released: 1982

Reviews: This EP precedes the one reviewed in MRR #10, and, as stated then, the Apostles are a very interesting band. Musically, they play slower, powerful punk with some distinctive variations; lyrically, they ooze with radical commitment. But one track ("Fucking Queer") displays some confusing contradictions--self hate?--which fly in the face of their otherwise virulent progressive and anti-fascist stances. -Tim Yohannon (from Maximum Rock'n'Roll #11, January/February 1984)
