Mornington Crescent - "Greetings From Amsterdam" EP


Here is the only vinyl output by Mornington Crescent, a great and totally overlooked punk band from the Netherlands. Like their fellow countrymen B.G.K., Funeral Oration, and Gepopel, they play great punk rock but with really gruff vocals. Years ago my friend Jesse sent me these mix tapes and this was one of the EP's he taped me, and it became my favorite stuff on that tape. This EP is four songs in eight and a half minutes, so it shreds.

  2. hmm...the tape that this was on had raw power, catatonics, x(australia), atrocious madness, the comes, and white cross...then there was another tape that had deathbag, wipers, and leatherface, and another one with totalitar (at the wrong speed!), brain death, sairaat mielet, and others...that tape broke.
