YAPHET KOTTO - The Killer Was In The Government Blankets LP Rock

YAPHET KOTTO - The Killer Was In The Government Blankets LP RockOriginally released by Ebullition Records in 1999. First press on vinyl since the original one! Yaphet Kotto were from Santa Cruz (California) and were active from 1996 to 2005. They were involved in the flourishing US scene of bands that started to mix emo with screamy hc punk in the mid 90s and that kinda created the 'screamo" term. While many of them had some kind of arty vibe, Yaphet Kotto were the more sociopolitical side of it. Ebullition
