Out out out! I get such an adrenaline rush every time I hear the title track. Be warned! If you got tinnitus like me be careful as you put on “27.3”. The intro is not easy to the ears. All tracks available for download since this rules. One of the guys went on to Condemned To Death.

Fuck man, you’re a machine! More great shit here, I love it!!
Glad you like it dude :)!
I think one of the members of Count Vertigo was in Ice 9…
there the same band…Eddie Jetson
Count Vertigo himself was in Ice 9! By the way,Discourage rock’n’roll is planning an Ice 9 lp! I’ll buy it for sure.
Holy shit!!! This is fucking hot!!!!!! Anybody got a spare copy??
I got a copy from Discourage a year ago with a photocopied sleeve for cheap– I’d suggest getting on their e-mail update list since another copy could pop up being that they’re in Ice 9’s hometown of Portland. Discourage sends out e-mail updates maybe once a month with a lot of goodies on it. The Ice 9 EP is such a great record, especially the vocals. But from what I heard, Ice 9 were disliked by Greg Sage of the Wipers because they had a song called “Nazi” (see KBD #14) so they weren’t on the “Portland Punk” live comp LP nor were they “allowed” on Greg’s label Trap which released a lot of great records by other Portland bands. I was e-mailing one of the old Stiphnoyds members back and forth a few years ago and he mentioned that Ice 9 were a pretty short lived band.
Thanks much Tony – I will subscribe to Discourage now. So what was it with that song “Nazi” – was it the title alone that put Greg Sage off (which is rather unlikely, one would suppose)?
The more I listen to this, the less I can believe how greatr this is. To me definately THE newly introduced old band of 2006 so far. Reminds me alot of Modern Warfare and also of Spittin Teeth and other “dramatic” bands. Fucking ACE, Peter!!!
Is there any chance that somebody has “Vertigo” by Open Sore…
I saw a copy of the Ice 9 7inch at record fair yeasterday. If I knewed you didn’t have it I could’ve picked it up Erich!
*Cry*. How much was it? Any chance of getting back to the seller?
27.3 is my fav. I’m a sucker for fx.
27.3- what a fuckin great tune
cheers CORPUS77
just got myself a good copy of the record, and not at the price of £50 that some record sellers are offering it.
lucky bastard!
This one definitely takes me back to 1979…oh snap!
Overall, this is one of my favorite records posted on here for 1979
You’ve manage to listen to all the 113 posts for 1979 ;)?
Yeah, I have. I’ve been downloading’em & giving’em at least a few spins. I’ve worked my way up into 1980 so far. Thanks much. Learning a lot about the eras & finding some stuff I really like. I like most of the stuff at least somewhat, although most of the power pop does nothing for me. I’d like to see some other people’s lists of favorites on this site.
Many thanks to all of you that likes our record.
Eddie (lead singer) and I (guitar) are still friends.
Eddie’s the one that went to Condemmed To Death.
And I went to The Miracle Workers.
Danny D… remember me? you and Vertical Hold were a great influence on me… wish I still had those tapes…. do you still have them?
Danny,will there be an ICE 9 / COUNT VERTIGO official release someday??
Hopefully!!!
And,is The Count still alive or M.I.A. ??
