They Say...
Starting in 1978, with a mix of hard pub rock like Ducks Deluxe and R&B-leaning punk (like Vibrators, Eddie & the Hot Rods, early Clash, and 999), this greater Miami foursome led by O'Brien brothers, Eddie and Michael, was South Florida's answer to New London, CT's Reducers (especially) before they formed, and Minneapolis contemporaries Suicide Commandos. It was hard to believe this fast, garagey, guitar dance band had come out of a peninsula-stranded area of an old-person's snowbird state. New Yorkers knew them from breathless regular coverage in their local Mouth of the Rat, the greatest hand-written underground rock fanzine of the late 70s. So scenesters bought both their 7" records, 1979's "Communist Radio" and 1980's God Punishes the Eat, and thus turned out in force, to the band's surprise, when they played the short-lived 80s Club on E. 86th Street (run by a pre-ROIR Neil Cooper). With only about 10-minutes of music available on vinyl, the band played the rest of that equally inspired set, songs like "Sub-Human" and "Hey Jackass," that one time -- until now, through this 59-track anthology. The entire gleeful overload-the-circuits speed and beer energy of American anything-goes punk, pre-hardcore, is here in spades (think Real Kids, Angry Samoans, Neats). And it just keeps going and going, with the addition of a rare cassette LP, EP, and four gig tapes. Don't miss "Nut Cop," the quickest and neatest; but just a hit and run taste!
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
