Although the band ceased their activities after this album, the compilation of their influences on the later hardcore scene is finally being released on vinyl for the first time. Formed in Kyoto in 1981 with former members 'Shinoyan' and 'Takami' of 'SS', who formed in 1978 and are regarded as the first hardcore punk band in Japan. With the addition of female bassist Ranko, the band was hailed as the best punk band in terms of both looks and sound. After releasing three albums independently, this album, released on Alchemy in 1991, is a newly recorded self-cover version and best selection of songs after vocalist 'Akira' joined the band in 1987. With a fusion of death voices, metal-tinged guitar work and hardcore sounds, the album offers a dignified performance by the Continental Kids, who were heavyweights of the Kansai punk scene in 80's era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"P-Vine","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50529846362443,"sku":"2047294","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/unnamed_2_f1e5fe9c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728067406"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/continental-kids.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
