Recorded in June the previous year, Peaceville released the iconic Under a Funeral Moon on this day in 1993. We didn't care really much for the albums at the time, we all agreed that the rehearsals we did was the most important thing. We actually rehearsed a lot...

The gig date is correct, on this day in 1986, but the "days before the release..." stuff below is not! Thanks to CS for the info! Days before Sometime after their debut LP was released CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER play at a friend's birthday in Bel Air (the band were from neighbouring Santa Monica). A lot of people thank that "Convicted" is about not fitting in, as far as punks not fitting into society, and not being normal. Well, it's not. It's about a guy who gets out of prison...
