Chinas Comidas
Retrospective 77-81 (black)
They had great critics from publications from that time like Slash Magazine or an emerging Maximum RNR. Two eps were released on their own record label, Exquisite Corpse records, and then they finally splitted in 1980, althought their members started new bands and projects, and Cynthia, the Singer, kept on writing a publishing poetry and writings during the next years. Since then some sporadic returns have happened as a semi acoustic duo. Thurston Moore from SONIC YOUTH has said about them "Poets make the best punks, we know this right away. CHINAS COMIDAS were the real deal: exciting, intriguing, intoxicating. An intelectual, right on voice amidst the blasting glory of early west coast punk rock testosteronia". This Lp compiles their two eps ( Peasant/Slave , snaps) and some more recorded songs that never saw the light of the day plus one song from a demo and a live cover of the witch from THE SONICS Songs like Snaps, criminal cop or for the rich ain t going to let down the 77 punk lovers, with lyrics that escape from the usual genre topics.
