ARTCORE VINYL FANZINE VOL. 2 - BEEF PEOPLE – PAVLOV’S DOG 7” EP:
The Beef People were a hardcore band from Virginia in the mid 80’s. They recorded one session in 1985 with Don Zientara at Inner Ear
Studios in Arlington, VA. Half of the session was released as the ‘Music For Men’ 7” EP while the other, stronger half, went undocumented, until now. Beef People played an inventive hardcore punk that took influence from Washington DC and other touring U.S. bands of the early 80’s. You can hear the echoes of Minor Threat, Faith, Black Flag, Negative Approach and other classic hardcore in this lost band. Late vocalist Brian Childers went onto NYHC band Crawlpappy, while guitarist Michael W. Dean went onto S.F.’s Bomb. The EP comes with a large foldout sleeve with lyrics, unpublished photos, a complete biography of the band, seven songs, radio edits and of course, a polythene sleeve.
