Dressed To Kill

Empty Rituals -- Dressed To Kill 7"

Original 1983 US release on Mental Assault Records (Chelsea MA) (catalog # MAR 002).

Scarce DIY punk 45 from Boston band Empty Rituals, a sort of art-punk/post-punk record made in reaction to the hardcore scene in early 80's Boston, so an anti-hardcore punk record! And a pretty great one. As goodbadmusic.com sez in a blog post well worth reading, "A band from MA, recording at Radiobeat, being engineered by Jimmy Dufour – and with a strong anti-Hardcore sentiment, this is a real punk record. Musically, we have a very nice blend of Jello Biafra-type vocals backed-up with a solid post-punk beat, filled up with some atmospheric guitar work. When this kind of music is well done, it gets a really hypnotic drive as it is the case here."
