Minuteflag full EP

Minuteflag was an experimental jam band collaboration between members of the American punk bands Minutemen and Black Flag. Their only release, an EP, consists entirely of instrumentals with the exception of "Fetch The Water" which features D. Boon on lead vocals.
It took place in March 1985, while Black Flag was in the process of writing and recording Loose Nut at Total Access Studio in Redondo Beach, CA; Minutemen had just completed their Project Mersh 12" EP at the same studio the month before. The members involved initially agreed that the material recorded during the Minuteflag sessions would not be released until at least one of the bands had disbanded. A 12" EP on SST Records as SST 050 came out over a year afterward, by which time Minutemen had disbanded after the car crash death of guitarist/vocalist D. Boon; Black Flag themselves would split up later in 1986.

4. Candy Rush 13:05

Hilarious!

[@caseyjones7872]

God rest your soul Mr. D Boon. You meant so much to us....then AND even more now. Thanks to D Boon's Mom, who made sure he & his best buddy Mike Watt " made their own fun"

When you thought a Punk Jam Band couldn't be possible and it could!!

Black Flag

If we heard mortar shells, we'd cuss more in our songs, and cut down on guitar solos

[@alaintremaine3302]

I was fortunate to see Black Flag several times over a few years, but I did not have the chance to see the Minutemen. I had the most respect for D(ennes) Dale Boon. When I found out about his untimely passing, it was Dec. 31st, 1985. I was in shock and could not partake of any New Year's festivities.

Very interesting compositioning here by these two legendary bands

[@dirkdiggler2129]

My deepest emotions have evolved and become so clear in the last day I have listened to this, where i knew someone was trying to help me see. Thank you Kira, and I remember why and what this was for.

WOW! What atrip
I went to the bank earlier and one of these critters was on my bumper

[@thomaskaaz1]

Fetch the water sounds pretty good at 1.5x speed

[@Elvis_Gonzalez]

Interesting! I would have not expected two erratic bands to produce something so tame.

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

[@velikynovgorod4358]

What does EP mean?

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

The Grim Reaper seriously you don't know that. extended play.

[@velikynovgorod4358]

Nope tried looking it up but never found anything

[@jamiewarriorwarlordmccallu5712]

The Grim Reaper just type it on wiki not hard

[@velikynovgorod4358]

Ok

[@sebastienurbanek9392]

Great music.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

Boy that cover of Elton John's "friends" sure sounds different from the original (look at the UA-cam credits under the infobox).

[@maddogg63]

Sounds like Ian Mackaye singing..more than Boon.

[@dudeman5303]

I dont hear that AT ALL. Sounds as D Boon as everything else ive heard him sing. I dont hear Ian whatsoever. Not trying to be a dick.

[@Jedhaase]

This is a pretty good ep. Not the best, but i'll get it if I find a cheap copy.

[@fusahlok7748]

Pretty good???????

[@1798randori]

Not really… I have it and I want to bury it

[@rainerkornmusic]

Idiot me,i sold that one years before,just because i was sick of Henry

[@phillynch392]

I don't think Henry had anything to do with this. D Boon sings on the first track and the other songs are instrumental. Henry was way too far up his own ass at this point to participate in anything like this.

Poor baby 🍼

[@EYEBALLband]

Um, uh...

[@gruaim]

fan of both bands but not a fan of this

[@Obiwannabe]

Sorry man, to each their own =(

[@crooked-halo]

This is boring. Love Black Flag, love _some_ Minutemen, but this is trash, except the last song, Candy Rush, is somewhat interesting and entertaining.
