NEW LP
PNV Records
“Noise Addiction”was recorded in 1978 and remained unreleased until 2006, quickly going out of print.Back in print with updated cover art. A long lost and forgotten slice of first wave American punk. Thealbum is a tour de force of fierce rocking punk n roll with amazing guitar ferocity and slamming rhythms.At times it almost borders on proto-hardcore, it‘s easy to hear why a band like the Bad Brains would citethem as an influence and why this essential album lives up to the hypeand while they may bedescribed as America’s first black punk band we feel this is one of America’s best first punk albums.Pure Hell started out on the streets of Philadelphia in 1974 known as a Pretty Poison, a fierce rock n rollband that played louder and faster than anyone in town inspired by the likes of the Stones, Iggy, Bowie,Alice Cooper and Hendrix. After reading about the Rock n Roll goings on in the Big Apple in pagesofRock Scene and Cream magazine. Sometime in 1975 they decided to moveto New York City. Once theysettled into the infamous Chelsea Hotel, theybecome friends with the New York Dolls and startedplaying around at allthe hot clubs such as Maxs Kansas City and Mothers. All the whilebecoming oneof the hottest and best live bands in the burgeoning NYCPunk scene. While on a 1978 UK Tour theyreleased their only 7“whichlanded in the Top 10 UK Indie charts.
