In 1997 TEAM SPIRIT did their first recording at Påsans Punk Palace in Oslo, a small studio where a bunch of Oslo punk bands (as well as Tiebreak and Sportswear) also recorded. The music is still youthful but the songs are more distinct, unique and surprisingly catchy. The songs were released on a demo cassette titled O.C. Life. Crucial Response is proud to release those songs unmastered raw as they were recorded back in the days on a 7“EP. You can order the 7“ on light blue or yellow vinyl by clicking here. Listen to the title track by clicking here. Enjoy!
After some delays the second pressing of The Last Pagans by SHIPWRECKED is out now. Actually it came out a while ago. We haven't updated our news section in a while, what a scandal! What can I say, music is music and The Last Pagans is an amazing record. The gold and blue vinyl looks fantastic and the blue lettering is a nice addition on the sleeve and labels. SS Decontrol Get It Away 12" comes to mind. Shipwrecked draws influences from early Boston hardcore and the likes but are in no way a rip off; the band has a sound of their own with slight oi influences here and there. Do yourself a favor and order a copy today.
