KREMLIN KORPS were a short lived Philadelphia band that played with a lot of hc/punk legends (Scream, UK Subs, Toxic Reasons, Subhumans, Crucifix, Government Issue, TSOL, Agnostic Front, No Trend, DRI, White Cross, Adrenalin OD, Corrosion Of Conformity, Jerry´s Kids, Iron Cross, Heart Attack,..) and left us a 4 song 7"EP legacy.
At a time when female-fronted hardcore bands were nearly unheard of, Stacey’s powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence set them apart. But it was the band’s name—Kremlin Korps—that really stirred the pot. With Cold War paranoia in full swing and Reagan’s America in a flag-waving frenzy, the name alone was enough to get them labeled “commie pinko faggots” by some regional critics. The band wore the insult like a badge of honor, doubling down with their 1984 EP Moscow’s Revenge, a middle finger to the era’s chest-thumping nationalism.
The reissue comes in a revamped foldout cover with band biography, photos, lyrics and flyers. 400 copies on black vinyl, 100 on turquoise. You can order a copy here:
