I’m doing a Marcus i.e posting about a record that was only
available at a show which I never attended. The show was Walk the plank’s
latest final gig ever (until the next one) which held in Livepool the other
weekend. In fact I missed their other last ever gig too in 2007 which was held
on a boat. I did however see the bands a few times before then and I did catch
the first reunion show this year at Morrowfest in Nottingham
(which was ace). I couldn’t make this one though but my friend Lee picked me up
a special copy of their album ‘Dead weight in hostile waters’ which was on
sale. Thanks a million dude.
Originally released in 2006 by (the now defunct) Dead &
gone records, this was easily one of the best UKHC records of the 00’s. And
next to Voorhees, Walk the plank were my favourite band with Lecky on vocals.
This record is a beast.
This special reunion
edition is limited and numbered out of 50 and features a Pushead spoof cover
dubbed ‘shithead’. Pretty damn funny. It’s got me thinking that I still need a
test press and one with the ‘Save out of
step’ cover.

I love Walk The Plank! This is a pretty sweet looking record.
I guess the 'Shithead' thing is reference to Pushead flaking last minute on doing the art for one of the Pieces Of Hate 7"s with WTP's own Broomo having to do the cover instead.
