Here's the dirt from the great 7inchcrust blog
"Drinking is great" is a compilation that came out in 1985 on Fatal Erection Records, a label run by Pig Champion (RIP) and Malcolm Conover. Fatal Erection released "Pick your king" and "Record collectors are pretentious assholes" of Poison Idea plus some ep's of Final Warning, E13, Osgood Slaughter and the Turbonegro/Flying Crap-split 10". There' s no need to say anything about the kings of punk, so only a few words about the other bands: E13 (or Etherteen) were from Eugene, Oregon, they started in 1982 and released two ep's :"No mercy for swine" in 1984 and "Quest for Gilligan" in 1985, both on Fatal Erection. Damon Oliver their original vocalist died by liver disease in spring of 2006, you can find a brief biography of band, photos etc here. Members of E-13 formed Osgood Slaughter (1986/87) and released a 12" on (where else? ) Fatal Erection. Lockjaw were from Portland and they were accused for being fascists. They selfreleased two ep's "Shock value"(1982) and "Dead friends" (1983). The E13 webpage labels them as neo-fascists but according to Kill From The Heart " Lockjaw was labeled "Portland's most hated band, they were ripped by the media, protested, and a couple of local record stores destroyed all the band's records. The band was accused of being nazis and white power racists, but it was all hysteria, rumor, and of course not true...", ... The record review of "Shock value" in Maximum Rock n Roll #3 states "Unfortunately the lyrics are really stupid, being sexist, violence prone and despite their protestations, racist as hell". A bunch of violent idiots i guess.. Final Warning were the old legends from Portland, the only release by them is their ep on Fatal Erection (1984, was re-released in 2008 by Black Water Records), they started in 1982 under the name Broken Trust and sometime they included Glenn Estes and Charlie Nims (aka Myrtle Tickner) who also played in Poison Idea. Members continued with Napalm Beach, Gruntruck, Zipgun and others, apart from Drinking is Great they appeared in "Northwest Hardcore" comp. tape (Media Blitz, 1988), in 2008 they reformed
THE CUTS ARE: POISON IDEA "LAUGHING BOY", LOCKJAW "YOU DICK", FINAL WARNING "I QUIT", AND E-13 "PANCREATITUS".
