Front cover to EP

Bloodsport was an important, albeit lesser known, Chicago punk band in the mid-80s. Unfortunately, Bloodsport is most well known for the bands that the members were in before or after the band. They released one EP in 1985 and continued to play live until most of their members joined The Effigies in 1987
