Neanderthal - Complete Fighting Music

Label: bootleg
Year: 1996

Are you fans of high comedy? Yes? Then you undoubtedly remember the hilarious recurring bit from Southern-American wholesome comic Jeff Foxworthy, "you might be a redneck, if...". Mr. Foxworthy would posit that your lifestyle may share similar traits to a person with a redneck lifestyle, if, you did one of the many rib-tickling, but "funny-cause-it's-true" anecdotes. For example, "If you pack for a trip in a styrofoam cooler, you might be a redneck".
So in the spirit of your grandfather's favorite comedy trope, I bring you, "You might be a powerviolence band".

When you can fight your entire discography on a single 7", you might be a powerviolence band.
When your band is 1/2 Man Is The Bastard, and 1/2 Infest (with some occasional extra Infest), you might be a powerviolence band.
When the center label of your ep is a split penis, you might be a powerviolence band.

This record is the band's initial 6 song 7" (Fighting Music), and the two songs from their split with Rorschach (Dear Jesus #38). And that's it. Eight songs, and the coining of the term "powerviolence". Done.
Slap-A-Ham did a "sorta release" of this in 2000 (not exactly official), and Long Live Tape Distortion did a 12" release in 2015, but this is the bootleg 7" version. For the record.
Essential.
