A link to a short review of the single and other punk/new wave bands:
www.fuzzlogic.com/flex/

"I was very impressed that they had an entry for such
an obscure band as The Death Army.
The review is quite accurate and very favorable."
- Geoffrey Blaisdell
 

And now, they're back from the studio
and
THIS TIME THE CARNAGE IS REAL.
 
 

The guys went into the studio for (what else?) a MEMORIAL DAY weekend recording session
and spent several days laying down tracks for a CD - possibly for release later this year.

(Vinyl?? What's that? - In MY day, music had pops and scratches . . . and WE LIKED IT!)
 

Songs on the new project are now available for download:
New compositions:
Wrap It.mp3
Black Rain.mp3
And these Death Army classics:
World War Rock.mp3
Les Femmes Plastique.mp3
Tiger's Eye.mp3

And a rendition of the great Sex Pistols song:
 Did You No Wrong.mp3


The original producer of The Death Army,

Andrew Wiswell,
was there, once again, to oversee the sonic devastation.

Also witnessing the mayhem was
the original graphic artist for the Death Army,
Greg Kerwin
