CHEIFS
"HOLLY-WEST" CRISIS
[originally compiled as a 1997 discography CD on Flipside Records]
Primo re-issue of overlooked but underrated early '80s California hardcore band. The Cheifs kicked around the decline scene with Black Flag, X and Circle Jerks...and kicked it hard. Their songs have a slight touch of pop and polish, without losing any of the primitive drive, urgency and youthful energy that you'd expect from an old school SoCal crew.
REVIEW OF FLIPSIDE EDITION: This collects the Cheifs' entire studio output of their seminal, though short-lived career (their lone 7", a couple comp tracks and previously unreleased material). The KBD 7" classic "Knocked Out" alone is worth the price of admission and the new track "Liberty" is a great archeological find (previously only available on the Black Flag bootleg that was poorly recorded from a radio broadcast).
