Exile In The Kingdom - Demo 1984

Exile In The Kingdom were from Drogheda Ireland and existed from 1981 to about 1985. They released one single in 1984 and one song from the single was included on the RIOR cassette compilation release World Class Punk before disappearing. But, they did record some demos and someone was kind enough to post a video they made using one of those songs on Youtube. I took the sound off that video so I could listen to it endlessly without having to turn on the computer because it is a great song.

Naked - Feltham Football Club, Feltham England 7-29-83

Naked were my favorite band of all the ones that appeared on any of the Bullshit Detector compilation albums on Crass Records. Besides that one fantastic they also released an ep on Bluurg Records in 1983 and that was it. Some demos and lives shows were in circulation at that time that showe3d the band had many great song for a full album. Unfortunately, they never got as far as releasing another record. It was only in 2007 that a full length CD was released with the ep, comp track and unreleased demos. But, still there are plenty of other unreleased songs. Soundboard recording.
