Track Listing:



In our ceaseless efforts to bring you music from the past that sounds as fresh and exciting now as it did 20 years ago, we are absolutely thrilled beyond repair to bring you the definitive reissue of works by seminal No New Yorkers, Mars.

Shamelessly "artistic" and equally as talented, Mars made their name on the late '70's NYC circuit, playing such spectacular dives as Max's Kansas City, Irving Plaza and CBGB's. Loathed by many due to their ridiculously ahead-of-their-time brilliance, we offer you testimony by those who were there and "got it":

"sounds like tortured children singing in seven different tongues"

Lydia Lunch

"Now that's entertainment"

Richard Hell

"Mars turns skulldrilling guitar rock into primitive art of the highest order"

Jimmy Johnson, Forced Exposure
