This was my 1st punk record EVER!!! It changed my life! And when i found out they were from my hometown. Hell yeah! Thanks for uploading. I love this album.
They used to play with a lot of the better known bands like Minor Threat and Black Flag and JFA whenever they played dive bars in Tucson. Their guitarist works at the same science company that Milo from the Descendants used to work at....
Conflict was one of my favorite "local" punk bands back in the day. They had an intense sound that made for raging pits. I scored this album from one of their shows in Phoenix. The lead singer, K Nurse, threw the album into the pit and I ripped it from someone's hands in the resulting free-for-all. While it was undamaged, I eventually wore it out from over-playing it. Thanks for posting!
It was released as a 12” 45rpm. Lotsa people played it at 33 on accident making Karen’s voice sound more proto-cookie monster grind and the music grungy metal (I used to always say conflicts music was basically Black Sabbath at 78 speed, giving a tip of the hat to a cheech and Chong joke and the great band, huge influence on me). Pukenvomit did a fine limited re-release a few years back, with a beautiful insert. The music though was a lift from the vinyl, god knows what happened to the tape (Sound Factory recording May 1983. Steve English engineered it and Michael Cornelius from JFA produced it). I was remiss to forget the detail about the speed - the re-release is at 33.3, not 45. Thanks for all the nice comments. Indeed those were good days and in hindsight i made that marshall les paul combo scream bloody murder. And Karen was a strong powerful woman, great lyricist and front person, ahead of her time in the grand scheme. A real honor to play with the band.
Have to thank Musical fanzine fir the way songs mix from one to another, and thanks to all post here ! While other members have moved out of AZ to other west coast city's I still live in the desert outside Tucson. During the life of the band had to best years.......
Man the first 3 songs kick so much while covering an impressive display of creative riffs, stop-start rollicking drum bursts and an array of breakneck tempos catchy and counter melodies etc and an all time vocal performance that after the 3rd song I was satisfied completely and then songs 4 and 5 I am in shit grin outer space heaven and songs 6-8 ever slight tempo reduction with dynamic songwriting I enter a fuzzy warm head spin head space and the hits and the rawk and all that shit just keep face slappingly moving forward on. Their 3 songs on This is Not The Circle Jerks are also of very high quality. Kinda of the Avengers with big toe in light socket territory or maybe a bit of Void pace with early 7" Gang Green or Born Innocent Redd Kross trashy attack but so tight. Some of the loosest tightest frantic stuff happening anywhere. Minus a bit of the heavyness and sugar kiss the catchiness slightly and you have in about 6 years the Creamers.
I thought this was some uncovered England Conflict album with Eve Libertine from CRASS singing, since they were such good friends. Good find for me, nonetheless.

Got to see them once...and these songs are even more frantic live.

Great gem of an album and still got my copy from many many moons ago.

Got lyrics?
That’s dope, was it a Record or Cd or perhaps a cassette?
@@goregore6259 Hi! Thanks for your question. It was actually a 33 rpm vinyl record. I was amazed that it didn't shatter during the scuffle.
Mark Reviea that’s pretty cool it didn’t

live they were a tornado
sooooooo good
Damn you should make videos talking about the history and certain releases cause wtf. I’d totally listen
The best punk scene is in Phoenix , next to Los Angeles
Did you check: Conflict - Mighty & Superior ..........from UK. Just like: Crass - Bloody Revolutions
They are proudly from Tucson...the label was out of Phoenix
ah yr right! thx for pointing that out!
Tuscon was named after a hyundai car
@@supervidere7 you are so cute.
One of my favorites
Without hearing it I thought it was Conflict from England because album’s font looks similar to but this pre dates them.
Look at the Seranade is Dead album cover. Almost identical but opposite in color and both albums from 1983. Coincidence?
The English Conflict was formed in 1981, the US Conflict in 1981 or 1982.

Used to have the original demo. Lost the cover. Then the tape. Sorry.
Conflict AZ > conflict uk
Favourite song is back to work not even on it
Oh so this is conflict US?
