Once the American hardcore scene got up and going, bands were popping up from all over the place. As the "No Core" compilation tape documented, the Carolina's and surrounding areas were brewing with some inbred, monster truck, sister fucking, twisted hardcore. A lot of bands that made some of the most classic of records in the early 80's would come from this area. One such artist Simon Bob Sinister fronted Death Records 4th release, the almighty Ugly Americans "Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed" and this is a fair documentation of what the band could deliver. However, other recordings (including live) would sometimes outdo this mini LP. If you like C.O.C. "Eye For An Eye" era hardcore then I think this is right up your alley. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Awesome! Good piece of history here. Simon Bob actually joined COC a little while after this was released and later recorded COC's infamous Technocracy ep. Anyway, I bought "..in my bed" 20 years ago and was lucky to see Ugly Americans live. I Still have the "controversial" t-shirt from the tour.
I had this when I was in college (late 80's), only recorded onto a cassette tape. It's not enough for this piece of beauty so I vowed that when I can, I'll hunt this vinyl and buy it no matter what. Job done and after all those years, this album still never fails to amaze me. Cool post!
Great! Thanks!
Would be great if you could post their "THE DREAM TURNS SOUR" LP, too!
Love this album. The bass sounds incredibly ugly and I really dig Simon's voice. So happy to hear this one again, thank you!
one of my fav lp's

Yes, I have enjoyed this LP immensely for 20 years now. Never got to see them but saw the Simon Bob version of COC on the Technocracy tour. I have The Dream Turns Sour if anyone is interested...
