Crashdog - Midnight Ride

This is Track #13 from the 1990 Crashdog album "Humane Society"

Wikipedia annoyingly states that Crashdog were "one of the first Christian punk bands" Obviously those of us who followed the industry know that isn't true but I do think they may have been one of the first recorded bands that did what I refer to as angry punk. Punk crossed many styles over the years but these guys were definitely one of the first to do this style successfully. There isn't much information about how the band came to be but we do know that they were part of the Jesus People U.S.A. movement in Chicago. They must have had some connection with REZ as this album is the first on REZ album on REZ's label Grrr Records. The band does a real mix of social commentary songs along with straight up Christian songs on this album. While I'm not the biggest fan of what I call angry punk I do quite like this album. The music is fantastic and the lyrics are good and this must have been a refreshing change of sound at the time. These guys were together for a further 4 albums which means they were doing something right.
