7"

Cassette - "Live at St.Andrews"
Cassette - "Soul of the Storm"

Great group of guys. Pure punk with a bit of that English Oi sound.
Fronted by the punk poet of Detroit, the ever lovable, Jimmy Doom
ALGEBRA
MOTHERS
7"
- "Strawberry Cheescake"
I don't know of these guys. They were told to me by someone helping with info
for the site.
Was told the 7" is fuckin great! They were also known as A-MOMS
THE
ALLIED
Songs
were recorded to be put out but the deal fell thru and
nothing was ever released.
Great band that showed their influence of English Oi bands very heavily
(i.e.- THE CLASH, LAST RESORT, SHAM 69). Featured Pete Zelewski
original NEGATIVE APPROACH member.
ANGRY
RED PLANET
LP
- "Little pigs, Little pigs" 1987
7" EP - "Too much knowledge can be dangerous" 1983
7" EP - "Gawker's paradise" 1982
One of my all-time favorite local bands. Great fun lyrics in the style of
THE DICKIES. Had a local
college radio hit with "Curling" (named after the great Canadian
sport). Tim Pak has been working in a studio
(as a producer?) and is now in a great Bluegrass band, SALT MINERS.
ANTI
SOCIAL DEGENERATES
LP
- "Hatemongers,.........A Product of Evolution" 1988
They recorded a live show at SMALL's this past year and you can download the

their myspace page, Also they give you a picture for the jacket if you burn it
to cd, Damn nice of the lads!
New LP to be out in late April-07
A.O.K.
(anti oi klan)
Saw
these guys a few times around 1984. Straight ahead punk style.
Didn't like the skinheads much I remember.
BLASPHEMOUS
Cassette - "Surfing
with the Mutants"
One of the
early bands to mesh the metal sound with punk. Always reminded me of a punk
MOTORHEAD!
THE
BLIND8
Put
together in 1977. THE BLIND were raw energy of people just learning to play.
Perfect for this
'new' punk thing! To put it bluntly... THEY WERE A TRAIN WRECK!
They never released anything but did do some crude home recordings. A
member
later joined the band FIGURES ON A BEACH (who left Detroit for Boston to 'make
it') Or as we used
to call them, PISS ON A PORPOISE.
THE
BONERS
7" - "Do the Itch / Bob the Dog" 1981
Also known as 'Jerry Vile & The Boners'
BOOM
& THE LEGION OF DOOM
7" EP - "Hate to love, Love to hate" 1985
LP - "Detroit"
Yes, I know they are from Battle Creek, MI but these guys kicked ass
each time they rolled into Detroit! Horror themed stage antics & song
titles.
These guys took ALICE COOPERs ideas to the next level. REAL deer parts &
other
animals they got from a local B.C. slaughter house shared the stage with these
madmen!

One of (if not thee) oldest art school/punk bands from Detroit. They played out
quite a bit,
recorded a shit load! Also responsible for starting 'Tremor
Records'.
COLD
COCK

Made up of Bruce Bannon (Bookies Club) & Bob Malrooney (Bootsy X & Love
Masters)

Another band I remember the name but that's close to all I remember. Weren't
they a
sorta Goth band?
CRUCIFUCKS
LP - "Wisconsin"
1987
LP - "The Crucifucks" 1984
LP - "L.D. eye"
Saw these guys in '84 @ Hungry Brain w/ ANGRY RED PLANET &
SLAUGHTERHOUSE ,
they blew me away. Then saw them again in 84' when they opened for THE
DEAD KENNEDYS
@ Harpos. Doc is a great front man with his distinct voice. Featured Steve
Shelly on
drums who went on to play with SONIC YOUTH

ELVIS
HITLER
LP - 'Disgraceland'
1987
LP - 'Splatter - from hell to eternity'
LP - 'Supersadomasochisticexpialidocious' 1992
Great fun band. They mix cowpunk/rock-a-billy. They had a
underground 'hit' with
"Green Haze," combining the music of Hendrix' s "Purple
Haze" with the lyrics to the Green Acres theme.
Believe it or not, the CD version of "Disgraceland" has sold for over
$100 many times on eBay!
FEISTY
CADAVERS
7"
EP -
'Dead Giveaway' 1988
7" EP - 'Dying
Art'
1989
7" EP - "Black Roses"
CD - "Feisty Cadavers & The Brotherhood" (Various Detroit bands
paying tribute to STEVE KRASS)
Really good band and a really good bunch of guys. In the vain of THE DEAD BOYS, horror styled
lyrics and subject matter. Sad that lead singer Steve Krass was murdered and bassist Eric Hoskins
died of an assumed overdose. You guys are missed.
