If I tried to summarize this, I’d probably mess it up. So, according to the listing on Bandcamp:
The story of BLOODY APOSTLES goes back to 1989, when the band got together to make a record with the infamous GG Allin. Unfortunately, it was never finished, and the band soon faded into the mists of time. Drummer Paul Ledney, of course, had HELLS HEADBANGERS staples PROFANATICA and then HAVOHEJ going, bassist Malcolm Tent went on to play for the also-infamous Antiseen as well as They Hate Us and a solo career, and guitarist Brian Zickafoose became a renowned visual artist. Still, BLOODY APOSTLES always felt they had unfinished business, and thus recently joined forces with Murder Junkies vocalist PP Duvay: the circle was complete. Indeed, the band’s self-titled debut EP authentically sounds like it could’ve come from 1989 (or earlier), with a rotten ‘n’ rude style of hardcore punk that the GG Allin would’ve been proud of. No progression, no intellectualism, no punches pulled: in just ten minutes, BLOODY APOSTLES make you feel the darkness of true old-school PUNK, when no scene nor space was safe.
And there you have it. The loooooong-gestating debut, self-titled EP from Bloody Apostles now finally sees the light of day thanks to Hell’s Headbangers. This bit of classic punk esoterica is available as a digital download as well as 7″ vinyl over at Bandcamp.
