San Francisco punk rockers recorded live at the legendary nightclub with 11 tracks and 2 bonus studio tracks

Formed in 1978, hardcore punks No Alternative were an immediate hit on the San Francisco scene, playing dozens of shows with such like-minded purveyors of aggression as the Germs, Black Flag, D.O.A., Flipper, and Negative Trend. Despite their demand as a live act, No Alternative only managed to commit a handful of songs to viny during their original run. The group's three-song 'Backtracks' EP appeared on Subterranean Records in 1980, while 'Johnny Get Your Gun' and 'Dead Men Tell No Lies' surfaced on local compilation LPs. KALX deejay Terry Hammer was on hand to capture the soundboard mix for this previously unreleased November 1980 set at the Mabuhay Gardens. The band's lineup included Hugh Patterson (aka 'Johnny Genocide') on lead vocals and guitar, Jeff Rees on bass, and Greg Langston on drums. The final two tracks on this release -- 'Witch Doctor' and 'Working Class Boy' -- are previously unreleased studio recordings. This is another entry in Liberation Hall's 'Sounds from the San Francisco Underground' series.
