Description
The Trend batman live at budakon LP. Vinyl l = excellent, cover has slight ringware & slight discoloration from age.Includes insert/poster.
In 1982 with the help of a local label, Northside Records, the Trend recorded the Batman Live At Budokan LP. Marc Patenaude, the guitarist and driving force behind the band, took over on vocals, something avoided on the first 45 since his voice was still in the early teen squeaky stages. In the end, it's the guitar and lyrics that make the record a classic of teen punk rock. Subject matter includes brushing your teeth, shopping for toys, divorce, and — of course — peer pressure. Musically, it's more polished and skirts the punk/pop line throughout; it is, without a doubt, a classic of bubble gum punk. As I said before, when you drop the needle on this one, you'll never confuse it with another band — the Trend LP is unmistakable.
And to give further credit where credit is due, the packaging on the record is awesome with its great cut-and-paste style and plenty busy to boot. The poster insert includes a hilarious posed shot with band members looking no older than twelve. Like the 45, the LP is dedicated to the pigmies of Madagascar and if you couldn't tell, the Trend never took themselves too seriously. Anybody who gets their hands on the LP will also discover that the track listings on the cover and label have nothing to do with what's actually on the record; apparently some miscommunication with the pressing plant is to be blamed. Citing personal experience, I'm taking the band's side on this one.
The Trend's tenure as a band would end tragically in August 1985 when J. Marc Patenaude, the singer, guitarist, and songwriter, died in a car accident. As with Rhino 39's Dave Dacron (killed in a car accident in 1980 at the age of 16), I can't help thinking there was some more great material to come
