<br>Great info Somebody,Now I'm going to have to go on a search for those two records.[/quote]
I was going to tell you there was a copy of "Yowl" in an eBay store for $9.99, but it's since disappeared. Hopefully, you got it. Not a bad price, seeing as it was sealed. Granted, it originally retailed for $5.98. (As Modern Method warned, "Don't pay more.") That's why everybody had Modern Method (and Propeller) stuff, you know. 'Cause they were dirt cheap. The EP had a $4 list price. Which was twice as much as I paid for mine, IIRC.
Since I just dug out my records, here's track info, if you can't find it elsewhere...

It's great that they put up the myspace page to promote the new CD. There certainly was next to nothing about them on the web a few years ago.
Regrettably, I didn't start listening to it until the year after, but both Native Tongue and Dangerous Birds competed in the 1982 WBCN Rock n Roll Rumble. Along with bands who released 4 of my favorite Boston singles of the early '80s, Limbo Race ("Down and Backwards"), Angry Young Bees ("You're Not Talking to Me"), Gary Shane and the Detour ("Johnny's Coaltrain") and Puppet Rulers ("Complicated Girl"... though I liked the flip, "Outta My Mind," better). There was also The Wild Stares, who were HORRENDOUS. I mean, Jesus H. Christ, did that band suck. Anyone who can listen to their "Scorch Truth" ("Scorched Earth?" Whatever it was called) album all the way through deserves a purple heart!
