The Best of Brought To Life - 421

1. DROPKICK MURPHYS - 'Cadence To Arms'
'Do Or Die' - Hellcat LP - USA - 1997
After Murphy's Law (last comp) someone suggested this lot. 'But BTL stuff has to be at least 20 years old' I said. And bloody hell, this, their debut, is. Hard to believe. Anyway, it's so good I'll have to spread it over 2 comps.

9. FINGERS - 'She's (A Bit) Unkind'
Flipside of 'You Get On My Nerves' - Bag Of Hammers 7" - USA - 1993
These are different Fingers, as you've probably guessed. After they broke up, Shane and Jason White (brothers) moved to San Francisco and founded The Rip-Offs.
