Creetin K-os::Social Unrest::Website
"Social Unrest" Creeton on the far right..
| Quote: | Social Unrest hailed from Hayward, near San Francisco, in 1980.They soon established themselves as one of the leading forces of the Bay Area early HC Thrash scene.
The manic, political vocals of Creetin K-os were well supported by screeching guitars & ultra-fast tempos .
The band released their 1st 7 " ( now much sought after) in 1981 on Infra Red Records.
" Making Room for Youth" was produced by none other than Dead Kennedys guitar player
East Bay Ray.
SU teamed up again w/ Ray a year later to produce their classic " Rat in a Maze" 12" , released summer 82 on their Libertine Label.The 7 songs of this EP are mostly fast except for "I love you", a PIL-like tune."Red, White & Blue" ,w/ it's numerous speed changes, remains a highlight.
They also appeared on Maximum Rock'n'Roll masterpiece 47 bands compilation,"Not so Quiet on the Western Front".

Hey ! found this on a recent tangent.
fascinating stuff. This website is put together by a french fan.
'Social Unrest' was the band that 'Creetin K-os' belonged to. Creetin
stood-in on bass guitar for UK Decay on their US tour of 1981 and
returned to the UK for the following tour.
'SU' and 'UkDk' played many gigs together in the US including a
couple with the 'Dead Kennedy's'.
Creeton at the time was the vocalist with 'SU' although a pretty
fine Bass player! (I noticed a bass credit on one of the later disc's
on the website)
