Anarchitex - You Can't Fight City Hall

By the time this was released, the Houston anarchists group led by Torry Mercer had already gone through a couple of line-up changes, until stabilizing upon this killer quintet affiliated with Happy Fingers Institute, Really Red and Pain Teens. Musically this can be compared to late 70's/early 80's Von LMO stuff, some early Butthole Surfers, Legionaires Disease. Yeah, good stuff, just like you'd expect.
As you can see, this was released as a split with very early PT, but I don't have that side, even though I'm pretty sure you can find most of the PT tracks on their other tapes, which are all available on bandcamp

Most of the Anarchitex tracks were re-recorded for their Digital Dark Age, 2011 re-union album, which is surprisingly good, even though it lacks Dave's Saxophone. This post comes in time cause they just re-released it first time on vinyl, and you can get it on their bandcamp.

Lossless rip, thanks to John Davis sharing his copy.
