I'm always keenly interested in news revolving around alt-rock bands whose heyday was during the Eighties. Read on for info on another promising release from Liberation Hall Records...
Best known for the 1983 college radio and MTV hit “China,” the group broke up in 1985, but reunited in 2023. That year, original members John Thomas Griffith (lead vocals, guitar), James Singletary (lead guitar, vocals) and Darren Hill (bass, vocals) reconvened to help promote an expanded edition reissue of '81 debut album 'Condition Red,' which appeared on Liberty Spike Recordings. The trio were then joined by drummer Bryan Barberot to perform the album in its entirety at Tipitina’s. It was that show that provides the audio for 'It’s in Our Blood.'
Both the LP and CD feature 15 tracks, including covers of “I’m So Bored with the USA” by the Clash and “My Generation” by the Who (the latter in a medley with “Condition Red”). The Blu-ray adds a cover of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” and two band originals, “China” and “Nothing to Lose.”
