Floridas Dead
ROACH MOTEL - It's Lonely At The Top LP
Limited edition of 1000 copies. Out of print.
Inner sleeve with liner notes, photos and flyers.
Highly recommended.
Full length collection compiling tracks from ROACH MOTEL's two singles, the We Can't Help It We're From Florida comp, as well as tracks which were intended for their ill fated full length, and two live cuts.
Many of these tracks have never been released on vinyl before. Its 21 tracks of early blistering hardcore that mixes the ferocity of early Black Flag with the snottiness of Wimpy era Queers.
Gainesville's Roach Motel (featuring future Maximum Rock N Roll columnist GEORGE TABB) were Florida's most noteworthy contribution to the early American hardcore scene, gaining inclusion in Stephen Bush's American Hardcore book.
They toured Florida with Black Flag and Saccharine Trust in 1982, and played with Minor Threat, The Necros, and Dead Kennedys.
