Okay, I bought this tape for $4.44 (see price advertised on the J-Card) at the Modesto, California location of Record Factory (the long-gone and sorely-missed Northern California record store chain), some time in summer 1984. Knowing nothing about the band, I was captivated by the punky graphics and bad-boy band photo, with those serious scowls. Child Support: suitably edgy band name, from the decidedly unpunk suburb of Fair Oaks.
Music-wise it's kinda punk-infused 1983 rock with occasional fast bits and some slick, commercial impulses that probably won out in the end. I'd compare them to NYC's Kraut, in that they were rockers at heart, punkers by circumstance. At the time I was fixated on X, Black Flag, Germs - and this tape sat uncomfortably alongside theirs.
By sheer unknowing luck I managed to find the best song on SoundCloud this week (posted by one of the guys in the picture), and gave it a listen for the first time in, er - 42 years? #1980s #DemoTapes #Obscure #Punk #Tapes
