GODHEAD - New Lottery 7"EP out with a lot of extras!

After Artistic Decline, another band from Los Angeles on No Plan records. These guys were active between 1981 and 1982. The band released the original New Lottery 7" on Bemisbrain records famous for releasing Modern Warfare releases as well as Hell Comes To Your House compilation albums. The band recorded another song intended for another release, but it never came out, so we included it on this 7". You can also find an essay on the band and the LA punk scene of the day, band photos, flyers and lyrics, all that as part of a 12 page booklet! Great tuneful punk rock classic that you can hear at the link below. 300 copies on black, 50 on red. Get your copy from www.goodwillrecords.net

ARTISTIC DECLINE - Random Violence LP Reissue of this Los Angeles punk classic is available now!

 The latest on No Plan Records is the reissue of ARTISTIC DECLINE´s one and only LP "Random Violence" released in 1987. This is a huge album; 26 songs ranging from 23 seconds to just under 3 minutes. In addition to the original collage of photos, the foldout 4-page insert contains all the lyrics, the band´s story told by their guitar player and additional photos and gig flyers. All in all, lots of stuff to keep you busy phonically and visually.

Artistic Decline, 1982-1987, was a Los Angeles band that debuted with the highly coveted 7" Andy Warhol in 1983 on New Underground records. The album that followed was 4 years in the making and when it finally came out in 1987 it contained 26(!!!) songs. Artistic Decline, loved by FLipside, MRR and Jello Biafra, had a varied sound that spaced from mid tempo punk to fast hardcore, but never generic and always superbly performed. Closest comparisons that come to mind would be Circle Jerks, Minutemen, Adolescents, Code Of Honor... 300 copies on black vinyl, 50 on blue. As usual, you can order a copy while they last at: www.goodwillrecords.net
