Punk has changed. It shouldn’t and will never go back. I feel like we could just do a punk retrospective from Link Wray all the way to and through emo and have one helluva time.
Fun fact: bassist Steve Niles would go on to write comic books, most notably 30 Days of Night.
These guys didn’t stick around very long. I’ve certainly never heard of them. Wish I did. This album is terrific. I would rank it up with Rites of Spring for content and Listening Post Discoveries.
Might have the best Beatles cover ever.
