National Guard - Unreleased LP [1996]

National Guard's last hurrah came in the form of an unreleased LP in mid 1996.  Intended to come out on a record label that was to be run by Billy Galaxy, the full recording never ended up seeing the light of day.  As things fell through with the CD, the band was also beginning to go through some changes, and with some personnel changes, National Guard ceased to exist by the end of the year.

Recorded at Anonymous Noise in May of 1996 with Karl Brummers, who also engineered recordings by the likes of The Weaklings, Atomic 61, The Automatics and Everclear, there were 21 tracks in total.  Two of those tracks (US Upset and No Way) did get released on the One Big Happy Slam Pit compilation CD.

So here it is, in its full form, the unreleased National Guard LP at 320k and remastered from the master DAT tape.

Sweaty Nipples - What's Your Funktion? [demo 1989]

As of a few days ago, it has now been 25 years since Sweaty Nipples recorded their What's Your Funktion? demo tape.  Many people called them funk-metal or funk-punk, but I think a big part of the fun with a band like Sweaty Nipples was that they didn't really fit into any sort of a box.  They were able to crossover with lots of people that were into varied sounds, and that's a big part of what made their shows at La Luna in the early 90s so much fun.

Of course, they would later go on to release records through Media Blitz, Tim/Kerr, Megaforce and Element, but this is where they started.
