Let's step into the 1990s this time with The Syphilitics. They were from Cincinnati Ohio and existed from 1995 to 1998. In that time they recorded three demos and only two of their songs ever got officially released, both on compilation 7" eps. The first comp. was titled Blasts From The Pasts vol. 1 (info here: http://www.grunnenrocks.nl/label/c/centslessproductions.htm) and had a song from their second demo on it. The other was titled Contents Under Pressure and had a song from their last demo on it. They rarely ever played outside the Cincinnati area. In 1998 the rhythm section left and they changed their name to Black Trans Am and their sound to a more Turbonegro influence sound. Syphilitics were my favorite Punk band in the 1990s. Plenty of snot and attitude for your listening pleasure. From cassette tape.

This was a real treat for me to hear all in one place. I remember this band verily well. Liam and I remain close friends to this day. I have the original demos you mentioned as well as the records. I have known Liam since those earliest of days. This music and this band were amazing and inspiring.
