Dave Wyndorf who later formed Monster Magnet is one of the two geniouses behind “Combat Love”. A great uptempo punk/powerpop classic that makes your head bop. They released a second 7″ and a 12″ EP none of which I’ve heard. You can find this for a decent price at eBay. Decent means about $50. Produced by Legs McNeil!
Country: USA

Hey Missy! I think this needs a repost. Great record!!
Hit the Deck, Men! Shrapnel rocks. What I would give to hear Dave Wyndorf’s voice on “Sleepover” or “Siegfriend Line” again. Anybody?
Oh man, you are sooooo right. I would kill to hear that stuff again. THAT WAS MY YOUTH! I left a phone message with Daniel Rey once looking to see if he would part with any demos. He called me back and left a message thanking me for my interest but said that he was holding on to the stuff “just in case…” The two 45s were great, but I want to hear those othe songs so badly.
I have all those songs bootleged from CBGB’S i would be lost without hearing these songs every so often, Definite youth days! unbelievable songs..
JoFloors…would you be interested in making a copy of those songs for me. Just like you said that you would be lost not hearing those songs, I have been lost for years now…Please leave a reply here to let me know if this is a possibility.
Can anyone tell me which release has “sleep over” on it?
hi, could you let me know what the matrix numbers are i just go a copy and it looks waaaaayyy to clean and i think its a boot, but i am unable to find proof they repressed this ep.. my matrix reads promo 7006a and promo 7006b.. if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated….
i cant get over how much i love your site man… its great while i am sitting here working on my graphic design stuff for my shirt company i get the pleasure of listening to all of these power pop gems, keep up the amazing work.. with this site and with the flakes…
take care

Someone needs to put out a lp comp of all these lost gems “sleepover” “firefly” “special forces boy” and one about shooting Vietnamese people, the kind of stuff only FEAR fans would be insterestef in and wouldn’t fly these days but hell, we need such music in our lives
