La Peste was Boston’s first true punk band and bridged the gap between the city’s influential 1970’s proto-punk hotbed and the college rock and hardcore punk that followed in the 80’s and 90’s. This collection aims to tell the full story of La Peste with a presentation of the band’s unreleased studio and loft recordings along with the two tracks that have been officially released. These tracks come from the studio session that produced the Better Off Dead 7” (the band’s only official recording), their 1978 session with The Cars’ Ric Ocasek, a 1978 session at Electro Acoustic Studios, and 4-track loft recordings made by Boston punks Billy Dafodil and Dave Cola in 1977.

MARC MASTERS ABOUT I DON’T KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG:


When you listen to I Don’t Know Right From Wrong I dare you to stop once you’ve started—imagine that they were available when La Peste made them. Imagine that this trio’s atom-bomb songs were blasting out of record stores and car stereos all over Boston, all over the East Coast, all over America. I have little doubt that’s what would’ve happened if this music had existed on record in the late ’70s. Instead, we have to settle for hearing it now—and wow, what a consolation prize! Everything on this set comes flying out of the speakers, fun and intense and so full of barely-contained energy that you’ll feel like you just injected caffeine.


Johnny Angel’s description of La Peste as Black Sabbath meets Wire sure hits hard now: big, fat, dirty riffs set to a knock-out clip beat. Between Peter Dayton’s fire-starting guitar and tonsil-tearing howls, Mark Andreasson’s ditch-digging bass, and Roger Tripp’s pocket-tearing drums, there’s so much sonic wind in your face during I Don’t Know Right From Wrong it makes the guy in the Maxell ads look asleep.
