MAYHEM - BLOOD MONEY, SINGLES & DEMOS 1979 / 1985

LP - REPRESS

Complete discography from Mayhem, a brilliant, underrated UK punk act.  Mayhem are best known for a searing duo of singles on the legendary Riot City label, but this compilation collects those as well as the seldom heard 1979 demo and a final, self released EP from 1985.  In many ways Mayhem were the archetypal 2nd wave UK punk outfit, combining the '77 brand of infectious songwriting with a political urgency and aggression fitting of early 80's England.  Though there was little to document their short time as a band, this collection pairs all their recorded works with a ton of unseen photos, flyers and 'zine clippings for the ultimate tribute to a group who epitomized such a crucial time for UK punk.
