"Red Scare was an early 80's West Coast band, ostensibly part of the hardcore punk scene, but their music had definite heavy metal and gothic tendencies. But don't let that scare you away if you're more into hardcore -- this has some of the most intense thrash you've ever heard. Lead singer Bobbi Brat had an amazing voice. Sadly, she died of illness shortly after an abortive reunion around 1988. This compilation includes their sole album 'Then There Were None' from 1984, a live performance, and some demos. Recommended."
