CARRY NATION - FACE THE NATION EP, CLEAR
Carry Nation were regarded as a super group featuring Dan O'Mahoney and Gavin Oglesby of No For An Answer, Steve Insted and Big Frank Harrison (Nemesis Records). Named after the Hatchet-wielding champion of alcohol prohibition, these dudes produced 4 powerful semi political songs on this ep. I always laughed to myself when looking at the thick card sleeve on this record that proudly displays Carry Nation - Face The Nation 1985 - 1989. How did they only manage to record 4 songs in 4 years, that by anyones standards is pretty slow going!!!!!

The dates are kind of a joke. The band practiced three or four times in 1985 and petty much broke up. The band reformed in 1990 played only a handful of shows after recording the four songs. There were only eight Carry Nation songs.
They had the song Temple Walls on the East Meets West live Nemesis comp. That's 5 songs. If there were 8 songs, I'd love to hear those 3 "lost" songs.
