Flyer promoting the series of spring 1996 Orgies from Record Hospital DJs at Harvard radio station WHRB.

I was reminded of these Orgies this past week via our cranky-old-former Record Hospital DJs forum, where someone posted a full-color poster featuring the Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, Red Krayola and Gravity Records Orgies.

The real one of interest to me on this two-sided flyer, though, was the Slampt Orgy. A label that had started just four years prior to being examined here, Slampt had already made a big impression on myself and a number of other Record Hospital DJs. Bands like Avocado Baby, Pussycat Trash and Milky Wimpshake made regular appearances in my show playlists.

12/6/25.

Petty Crime were a Brighton, England band active in the late 1990s. They released the "Forfeit Intent" 7" on Slampt in 1998 and then disappeared from the scene. That 7" kind of sounds like a cross between riot grrrl (Bikini Kill or Bratmobile) and Wire. Bummer that they didn't stick around.

Apparently, they did make another recording. A bedroom recording in Brighton which serves as the basis for this 2025 3-song 7". Fred Thomas took the cassette of the recording, "cleaned" it up and boom, we've got this lowest of fi (especially compared with "Forfeit Intent") offerings.

Raw Sugar Records (New Orleans) and JABS (Rochester NY) joined forces to release this 7" in an edition of 300.
