Greetings... just migrated here from the bad place hoping we can rekindle some fash-free community...

Anyway, have a look at the first SDS compilation, released at a time when fascism was a mostly abstract concept used to populate industrial music lyrics:

In fact, Leæther Strip's Underneath the Laughter was released that month, so I probably had it dubbed on a C90 too

#Propaganda Mag called Canadian #Industrial band #FrontLineAssembly “a band that wallowed in dystopian melancholy but found purpose & strength in new abilities and now aspires to impress rather than shock”- their 1987 cut “Landslide” was a #StarckClub fave

Life advice for the young: drive across country to see a rare band play

aurifex @aurifexsds.bsky.social · 2d

As far as I know, yes.

Apparently that tour was partially funded by Pendragon and the rest out of their own pockets:
