MARCH MAYHEM: PUSZONE UNOFFICIAL TOP 100 of the 80s - THE FINALS

Two game-changing monsters of the underground, neck-to-neck in our annual MARCH MAYHEM tournament bracket. The KOPPOD troika argued and deliberated through Pushead's entire Unofficial Top 100 of the 80s and two records stood alone at March's close:

#25 NEGATIVE APPROACH 'Negative Approach' 7" vs. #11 G.I.S.M. 'Detestation' 12"

These records speak for themselves, but if you're reading this then you should listen to the KINGS speak on them as well. They start with a basic gestalt and discussion of each group before voting on their favorite, thus deciding the winner of this year's MARCH MAYHEM tournament bracket. After voting, each of the esteemed judges explains their selection. Thank you for joining us and following along with this tournament bracket, big thanks to our guest judges (NATE and GREY from DEMOLISTEN, CONNER and COUGAR), thanks to everybody who shared their own takes with us, and a very special thanks to PUSHEAD for compiling this list.

If you wanna sound off on this one, you can call the KOPPOD HOT TAKE HOTLINE at 585-348-8203 - if we get some good voicemails we'll play 'em on the pod. Regularly scheduled programming resumes next week.
