This scratches the itch for garage rock with brilliantly retarded lyrics. Only people who like silliness and a damn good time are going to let The Thingz loose.
Reissue of Stiv Bators’ debut solo album from 1980. Disconnected is a power-pop album. That may seem strange if you only know Dead Boys’ Young Loud and Snotty.
An Austin supergroup. When you’ve got a unique sound like The Ends, it’s going to be an acquired taste, but it makes you a milestone band for comparison.
