Does anyone know about this CD? cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110247960707 The seller states that it - " FEATURES TRACKS BY ARTISTS LIKE THE REDSKINS (FORMERLY NO SWASTIKAS)" I've emailed the seller and been told that the track is called 'Drowned'. Which as far as I know the Redskins never recorded a song with that title.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
Since the comp is supposedly made up of obscure New York and New Jersey bands, I'm guessing that there was a band called the Redskins in there, and the people who posted this confused the east coast one with the UK other. Given the obscurity of No Swastikas, it is odd how frequently the name is referenced.

I do know that No Swastikas did record a few studio demos (or at least No Swastikas 2nd line up did). But at the moment I don't think that any have been released.

I've managed to contact someone who has a copy of the comp - thanks, Claire Raby. Claire sent me the following info on the comp/track - The comp was put out by Waggy Zine (contact info listed as: 8 Black Gum Tree Lane, Kings Park, NY 11754, lmart98841@aol.com) and OCD records (contact info listed as: P.O. Box 1886, West Babylon, NY 11704). the only information the booklet gives on the song is this (as written): name of band: the redskins name of song: "drowned" time of song: 3 minutes and 22 seconds contacts: Nezoner@aol.com description: emotional punk rock This myspace profile comes up for that email address: www.myspace.com/1059008Looks like it's a different band with the same name. But Claire is sending me a mp3 of the track later just to make sure.

I heard the tune today and can safely say that it's not the Redskins we know and love. Turns out that it's an American emo band on the CD compilation.
