THE SKEPTIX - Peace Force EP 1981

Second 7Inch by this StokeOnTrent band and the four are welcome guests in my house. Another well-recorded Skeptix release. They’ve contributed two more killer thrash numbers, one with some interesting drum parts (“War Drum”), the other with a metallic guitar solo (the title track). The EP is rounded out by a slower cut called “Another Day.” (Jeff Bale, MRR #14 • June 1984) That's not surprising because their sawing music is exactly my taste and they regret the fact that their first album was released via the German ROR label, today more than ever. This three track EP was released via Zenon Records and is another good one of the Skeptix and they recorded until 1983, when unfortunately Fish (guitars) left the band to join Discharge. By 1985 the Skeptix had split up.
