Tin Twist - "Stupid Cars"

Chuckleheads - We Are The Chuckleheads / I'm A Chucklehead 7" (Not On Label, 1980)

I believe that the first time that I heard the track "I'm A Chucklehead" was on one of those really great Chuck Warner Hyped2Death releases back in the early 2000's. Probably never would of heard this band otherwise. Nam sayin'?

Bolivians - Self-Titled 4 Song 7" EP (Red Records, 1979)

"The Bolivians had the D.I.Y. look, but they were plainly comfier borrowing from the Seeds and Max Frost on "Underground Passion." The rest is a discomfiting mishmash of Pere Ubu, Contortions, and maybe Root Boy Slim. Pre-Secrets [Teenline #102]."

Th' Cigaretz - Crawl Rite Outta My Skin 12" LP (Cancer Records, 1980)

Each copy has a uniquely silk-screened cover created by various band members. The album itself is a conglomerate of various live recordings and definitely has some great moments.

Th' Cigaretz - "Beer"

Th' Cigaretz - "Fight Or Flight"



Th' Cigaretz - "Disposable Lighter (For Your Love)"

Skuddzies - Bomb Iran / Bomb Iran 7" (Controversial Records, 1980)

Mystery promo record featuring a parody song of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann." Not sure where these guys were from? Perhaps from Vancouver? A man named Floyd Turbo is responsible for the writing of the lyrics.
