THE WAY IT WAS


Welcome to The Way It Was. Here I will be sharing songs, flyers, etc. from ye olde days of tape trading. Sometimes it'll be an mp3 mix that I throw together, other times entire demo/album. I'm doing this to share a bit of my past with the rest of you, and it's FREE. I'm not making a dime off of this. Most of the tracks you will hear are rare or hard to find.

If any bands that appear on this site don't want your music featured, let me know and I'll take it down immediately.

I originally planned to leave each volume up for a month, but I will now keep all of this up as space permits. When I need to clear them out to make room for new material, I'll let you all know.
SUBMISSIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! (drop me a line at bobby at paranoizenola dot com)

Sluts-12 Inches Of Sluts LP (1982)
Remember when punk rock was loud, obnoxious, and offensive? The Sluts were an early 80's New Orleans punk band that fit that description perfectly! Their vocalist, Dee Slut, auditoned for Black Flag when Dez Cadena wanted to switch to guitar, but, obviously, Rollins got the gig. They are mentioned in Henry Rollins "Get In The Van". Not sure of the rest of the line-up right off hand, but I'll be sure to update when I find out.

Manic Depressives-Silence On The Radio 7" (1980)
New Orleans punk rock circa 1980. I don't know much about this band, except that Final Solution 'Zine/Vinyl Solution Records founder Larry Holmes (aka Larry The Punk aka L The P) played bass, and Mandeville Mike (who I've heard some crazy stories about) sings. Mike C (guitar) and Charlie Bouls (drums) are also listed in the lineup.
