B Team - Buy American (1983) What Is This? / The Kill / Caught! (1982)

A three piece post-punk band from San Francisco. That really rip it up with moves that will remind you of Gang of Four more than once. Which in my book is a wonderful thing. Buy American has better production values. Usually I don't care to much about such things, but The Kill (fantastic song that it is) is somewhat buried. I upped the volume quite a bit there. Caught! from the 7" was on a Messthetics Homework comp. Curious pick as I find it about their least interesting song. I also included the 7" insert with lyrics to The Kill, and the 7" back cover which isn't much to look at.

    I bought the "What Is This" single when it came out but have never heard the album. Thanks for giving me the chance, Dane.

    I was the bass player and singer in B Team. In case you're interested, I've put a recording of the band's last show (at Wolfgang's in San Francisco) up on Bandcamp.
