My friend Ed exhumed an old Nuclear Assualt clip on Facebook earlier today, which had me falling down the YouTube rabbit hole, revisiting a lot of vintage thrash from my youth, eventually leading me to this old clip for “Brainwashed” from 1988.
Honestly speaking, I was never a huge fan of this band, being that I much preferred bassist Dan Lilker’s former band, Anthrax. That said, they did have their (fleeting) moments, and I applauded Lilker’s turn in the early stages of the Stormtroopers of Death.
Regardless, I thought “Brainwashed” was worth putting up for its endearing NYC-centric vibe. Along with predictable locations like the Brooklyn Bridge and the steps of the New York Public Library (probably not the first institution you’d associate with the hirsute likes of Nuclear Assault), watch the boys flock into Bleecker Bob’s and dutifully assume the stage in attack formation at L’Amour in Brooklyn.
Mosh it up.
