Album / Title
The Freight Train Song b/w Jealous Trains (picture sleeve)
By: Tankhog
Origin: Vancouver, British Columbia, 🇨🇦
Insight
This heavy Vancouver punk band was made up of half of the members of the infamous Slow, one of Vancouver's most legendary punk bands. Tankhog never quite reached the past glory of Slow, but they did manage to put out on album on Zulu and this, their only vinyl outing, before finally breaking up. It's basically nut-crunching thunder punk that stomps on your head ‘til you're unconscious! Sound nice? Robynn Iwata of Cub drew the cover.
