HELL'S GETTING HOTTER 7" EP 01. Hell's Getting Hotter 02. Our War 03. Burn the School 04. Don't Wanna Be Told Label: SST Records Cat #: SST 008 Format: 7" EP Released: 1982

Reviews: When I saw them in April of last year I was unimpressed, but this is great. It's got a raw, basic sound that reminds me of the Descendents, except it leans a little towards British hardcore, especially with the vocal style and lyrics. The music is a little on the simple side, but great lyrics on songs like "Burn the School" make us for it. -Tim Tonooka (from Ripper #8, January 1983) The long-awaited debut of this medium-fast metal punk band. The songs are positive, spirited, and catchy, with lots of power to 'em. -Tim Yohannon (from Maximum Rock'n'Roll #4, January/February 1983)
