Obligatory Introductory Post.

Welcome to The Way It Was! This is a journey back into the early days of the New Orleans underground music scene, and the 80's/90's scene in general, where tape trading, fanzines, college radio shows in the very late night/very early morning, and those annoying little ads that would scatter everywhere when you'd open an envelope were the only way to spread the word about new bands and 'zines in the underground!

Most of the music that I post here is already up at http://www.paranoizenola.com in the The Way It Was section there, but here I'm going to include links to download the entire demo, instead of having to right-click and save track by track and, if possible, try to include the entire inserts/j-cards and a short interview with at least one former member of the band and photos if possible!

If you have ANYTHING that you can contribute, I'm always looking for old photos from the 80's/early 90's New Orleans punk/hardcore/metal scene to post here!
I'm also presently looking for the inserts/j-cards for:  Paralysis-"Plegia", Graveyard Rodeo-"Realms Of The Undead", Spoiled Brats-"Think For Yourself", and East Cambodia. Also looking for the lyrics sheets for Armed Response-"Mad At The World", The Detrimentz-"Face Reality" and Paralysis-"Promo '91" demos!

Email bobby at paranoizenola dot com if you can help/contribute!
Thanks, and enjoy!
