Dream Dates, The - 1979 - The Mess You're In 7'' (CAD)

First off, I have to say that some of my favourite bands come from Hamilton, Ontario like the Forgotten Rebels, Teenage Head, and Simply Saucer. Hamilton has a solid history for breeding good bands.
Everyone knows of a kid who had a scab collection or something equally appealing in nature. Right? Well it seems now that those kids are unearthing those timeless collections selling them and printing up some cool vinyl with the rewards. Treasures for pleasures baby. As each year goes by more stones are overturned and another obscure punk crab goes scuttling out only to be caught by the net of the scab kid.
You have to love these bands that are being dug out and immortalized for a wider audience. This is piece of 79-style rock and roll punk. “The Mess You’re In” spreads it’s wings and takes flight like some weird strain of Asian Bird Flu. Countless repetitions only makes you want to hear it one more time.
The flip is the Iggy and the Stooges classic “ Search and Destroy”. The Dream Dates manage to do the song justice. Personally, it’s a song I feel has been covered one too many times in recent years. Shit wasn’t it used in some Nike advertisement? Regardless this is one blistering hot version.
I have to mention that if the cover looks familiar I believe it is an outtake from the “Last Pogo”(a lp documenting essentially Canadian Punk).
Keep this stuff coming. Vinyl Nerds love it.
