A ROSE FOR THE ROSE-TINTED METAL-PUNK GLASSES OF THE PAST -- WELCOME TO 1984.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Kelvin "Cal" Morris of DISCHARGE during his heavy metal/hard rock vocalist transitory phase, on the cover of Japan's "D O L L" magazine issue #20, c. 1984,🌹plus shots of late, great guitarist Randy Uchida of G.I.S.M., and his short-lived glam/heavy metal side project RANDY UCHIDA GROUP [R.U.G.].

!⚠️!⚠! The following is some pretty revelatory stuff, and even I was unaware of such a tour having been conceived, let alone arranged!:

"This issue [#20] contains an interview with Randy Uchida, the guitarist of R.U.G, according to the interview, G.I.S.M. was supposed to support DISCHARGE in a Japanese tour in ’85 which G.I.S.M. was forced to abort due to the disband of the group. I’ve heard about the tour as a rumor, but didn’t know that the tour had been actually arranged."

REAL PUNK -- APOCALYPSE PUNK -- NUKE WAVE -- UK82 -- LIVE & LIVID IN L.A.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Kelvin "Cal" Morris of English hardcore punk band DISCHARGE, performing live at the Florentine Gardens, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA, on October 2, 1982. 📸: Glen E. Friedman.

The Dis-fathers shared the bill with THE MISFITS for this gig, but c'mon, man, the Misfits did not fly all the way from far-ass England to play in L.A., meaning most damn near everyone was there for DISCHARGE more than anyone else in the end. Of course, that's just, like, my opinon, man.

"WHILE I DON'T ENJOY THIS BRAND OF DISCHARGE AS MUCH AS THEIR EARLIER INCARNATION..."

PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on vocalist/songwriter Kelvin "Cal" Morris & bassist Roy "Rainy" Wainwright of English hardcore punk/heavy metal band DISCHARGE, from the back cover sleeve art to their "Ignorance/No Compromise" 7″ vinyl single, released on Clay Records in 1985.

MINI REVIEW: "The A-side is a pretty catchy, almost MOTÖRHEAD-type rockin’ metalish number with excellent lyrics. The flip is too plodding for my tastes, but again with good lyrics. While I don’t enjoy this brand of DISCHARGE as much as their earlier incarnation, at least the integrity of the thoughts is maintained."
