Harsh 70s Reality

Harsh 70s Reality is the fourth studio album by The Dead C, released in 1992 by Siltbreeze.

The opening track "Driver U.F.O." is performed over a recording of Douglas Lilburn's "Poem in Time of War". Side two closer "Suffer Bomb Damage" is an homage to the This Heat recording "Suffer Bomb Disease". Stephen Malkmus of the rock band Pavement has cited the record as one of his top 10 all-time favourite albums.
