1982 X-Claim Records #2
Very rare original pressing with Pushead cover art. Jacket made in Canada?!
Sleeve is NM. Record is MINT. Guaranteed original and as described.
A fair starting price considering that a copy of this album sold recently in lesser condition for over $130.
"Classic first-wave hardcore punk from Boston, the F.U.'s debut release, Kill for Christ is a thrashy, amateurish rattle that works thanks to the band's reckless enthusiasm. With caffeine-overdose tempos that nearly collapse on every track, ultracheap static buzz production, and cigarette-hoarse mob choruses, Kill for Christ could be considered a textbook case of hardcore America, right down to the Pushead artwork on the cover. The F.U.'s are angry punks, but behind their stiff beats and petulant riffs is plenty of snotty exuberance, a barely concealed joy that proves that the band is rocking as much for fun as for revolution. The songs take on many of the same concerns that contemporary hardcore acts complained about, but they're not afraid to skewer their own audience right along with the yuppies, hippies, and fascist club owners. "Trendy Nazi Hypocrites", "Peer Police", and the anthemic "F.U." all take a bite out of smug, politically naive punks who blindly trade the conformity of schools and parents for the conformity of mohawk hairdos and Maximum Rock N Roll magazine. The sloppy energy and vulgar humor result in some memorable 'core. The original vinyl run of Kill for Christ officially went out of print long ago." -Fred Beldin, Allmusic
