7inchpunk

In my opinion, here lies two of the best ever PUNK songs to be slapped onto the same slab of wax!

I have a copy of the 1st pressing with the red label, hand made/stamped sleeve….it’s also autographed by Jake Burns!

ps: As a new member I’d like to say great site you have here guys, long may it continue.

I agree with Pedigree Scum! Fucking classic, definitely in my top 20!

This is amazing. These are two incredible classics. It sucks that they put hateful rascist garbage on their LP though (see: white noise)

‘white noise’ was irony, not actual hateful garbage. there’s even a verse about the irish (slf are from northern ireland).

don’t worry, you can enjoy the ep guilt-free. they’re not racist.

Punkerism epitomised: the sheer fucking idiocy of too many punks never ceases to amaze.

all the early fingers releases were and still are classics.they were easily the best live act too.only the ramones could come close.

[…] real quick January 23rd, 2007 — lexdexter tuesday and wednesday are real gnarly for me, but before things get to hectic i wanted y’all to do yourselves a solid and enjoy a little bit of beauty in the form of stiff little fingers’ ’suspect device’ 7″. the title track’s one of those oft-covered punk anthems that’s nonetheless best experienced au natural. praise be to 7inchpunk for doing an outrageous curatorial job. what a treat to wake up and have some hero flinging punk-historical shards at you.

Yeah? But they sold-out.
Inflammable Material 7 Nobody’s Heroes were great punk albums,but they , like countless others ,became commercialised and came out with crap like Go For it, what came out afterwards was not punk but a lot of old crap.

They are now in it for the cash and do not look like punks anymore. Cash-ins.

“They are now in it for the cash and do not look like punks anymore. Cash-ins”

Quite apart from the fact that it’s idiotic to say a band that’s been playing to small crowds for nearly 30 years are just “in it for the cash”, what the hell do you mean when you claim that SLF “do not look like punks anymore”? Obviously dressing like some fucking UK82 clown is the most obvious way to sell records to poseurs in the first place, and trying to pull that look off at 50 is even lamer than doing it at 20– which is pretty fucking lame.

This is my favorite single ever. Thanks.

i read somewhere that when the band sent the original tape to the record company, they had to end up sending another one because they had a diagram of a tape bomb on the front and the record company threw it into a bucket of water because they thought it was an actual bomb

Just went to see em play again last week in Scotland and they were excellent! It’s their 30th Anniversary tour and they are playing all tracks from Inflammable Material. It was awesome to hear tracks like Rough Trade & White Noise etc

The truth it they NEVER dressed like ‘punks’ - just check out Jake in the band picture: geeky specks, crappy jeans, cheapo leather jacket and rubbish trainers. And the hair on all four of them should give it away. The chances of picking up a pair of bondage pants in Belfast circa ‘77 were pretty much zero so they just dressed however the hell they wanted - which is surely more ‘punk’ than those idiots who still tramp around city centres with their ripped leather jackets and tartan bum-flaps.

As for them being crap after Nobody’s Heroes, like any decent band they both diversified and improved as musicians. You’re obviously not capable of doing the same as a listener but if you’ve been happy listening to nothing but The Exploited and 999 for the last thirty years then good luck to you.
