DUSTY DIAMOND OF THE WEEK (a vintage gem from the STD vaults): Scared
of Chaka are a punk rock band from Albuquerque that were active from the mid
90s into the early 00s, releasing several albums and singles. They regrouped this
year and just recently released a single on Slovenly Records. “L.A. Buquerque” is
a high energy burst of edgy and mosh-able melodic punk with power chords and
nice vocal harmonies. It appeared in 1995 on the “Hutch Brown Sayngwich”
album on the Seven-O-Two label. Listen to it here:
