Kebab's "We Live In a System" is another band / LP that I had never heard of until that fateful day at my local favorite record store. Hailing from Belguim Kebab recorded this record in 1981. Kebab was a 4 piece fronted by a powerful female vocalist. Personally, I am a big fan of early European punk and hardcore. So this record was right up my alley. I could not pass it up. This group had a very Crass records-ish / Slits influence. They also have a slight "new wave" sound, but it doesn't come off with that shit new wave sound that was taking over at this point in punk history. The synth's they use give the sound dark overtones that compliment their political attitude very well.. This is a collection of a previously released, extremely hard to find 7", cassete, and compliation tracks. Overall if your a fan of the early european anarcho punk this record is for you. It can annoy the shit out of anyone who does not like those stylings. Which is exactly what I love about certain punk groups. It is an acquired taste.
