Direct Action - Trapped In A World

Here's another band I first heard on a comp and had to find more of. They had one track on the '86 There's A Method To Our Madness comp. Fast and ultra-political. They kinda remind me of B.G.K. (Damn, this site has become a regular Linkstravaganza!) I absolutely love the 'One Tin Soldier' cover.

  1. Hmmm. I used to own a self-titled cassette from these guys, and I liked the versions on that better than the ones on here (they're a little slower & not as out of control). Any chance you could track that sucker down? The cover of the cassette looks to be a badly photocopied pic of the band wearing weird skeleton masks (but it's really hard to tell). Thanks!
