While I’ve never given the Murder City Devils a good listen, I have given quite a good listen to two of the short-lived, low-output bands that some members of Murder City Devils were in way back when: Area 51 and Death Wish Kids. I’d give almost anything to see Area 51 do a live rendition of their “Over the Edge” song, but instead I’ll buy their long-out-of-print discography 10-inch, which—I have just learned at this very moment—has been re-pressed by Sound Virus records! Holy shit! This hard-to-find record has been at the top of my most-wanted list for many years, and it has always eluded me. This will be the best $9 I’ve ever spent.
